銅羽人，漢（Bronze Winged Figure , Han）

漢人迷信神仙方術，希望長生不死，羽化成仙。這個銅羽人肩部生有雙翼，長臉大耳，長髮及肩，身穿長袍，正是漢人心中的神仙形象。根據記載，漢代帝王對神仙信仰十分着迷。

Han people were superstitious about deities and alchemy, and yearned for immortality, hoping to grow wings and transform into deities. This bronze winged figure has wings at its shoulders, a long face and big ears; it has shoulder-length hair and is wearing a long robe. It represents what Han people imagined as a deity.
