The bird is now collected in the Shanxi Provincial Museum and is regarded as the "treasure of the town" in the Shanxi Museum. The whole bird is modeled as a phoenix bird looking back, with a slightly raised hand and an upright crown. The bird's body is plump, and the two wings are rolled up. On the back of the phoenix, a small bird quietly rely on each other, and become a bird on the lid of the catch. Under the tail of the phoenix, there is an elephant head, and the trunk of the elephant is rolled inward and upward, forming a stable three-point support with the legs, and the whole body is covered with decorations. In ancient times it was used to hold wine and for rituals. Today, Ren ShuE presents the characteristic shape of the artifact in soft and ornate embroidery, which is very representative of the artifact.
