青銅馬分頭、耳、頸、身軀、尾、四肢等11段鑄造，子母口銜接。馬昂首翹尾，兩耳直立，左前肢提起，張嘴露齒作嘶鳴狀。車的結構，分駕馬、輪與軸、車箱與篷蓋三部分，駕馬工具包括衡、軛、曲轅，構件多達260多件，出土後復原裝配時，仍能牢固緊扣，可見鑄造精確，工藝高超。
The bronze horse is made up of 11 separate parts, including the head, ears, neck, torso, tail and four legs. All the different parts are fitted into one another. The horse's head is raised with two upright ears, and its tail curves upwards. The left forelimb is raised and its neighing mouth is open to reveal bared teeth. The chariot is divided into three main parts: the harness, wheels and axle, and chariot box and roof. The harness includes the yoke, yoke saddles and curved draught pole. The chariot is made up of more than 260 parts, which held together very well when they were reconstructed after excavation, a fact that attests the high level of craftsmanship involved in the casting of this piece. ■資料：香港歷史博物館
