One hundred and seventy stone articles, including the stone bi, stone zhang(a kind of jade alticle), stone spears, stone axes, stone kneeling-figure, stone tigers, stone tortoises and stone snakes, make up the earliest and the most exquisite group of stone ware. the stone tigers are realistic and vividly carved. The stone kneeling figure, bound with both hands behind has back, and rouge on his lips, wears a square hat with two sides raised upward and a long plait of hair that reached to his waist. Archaeologists believe that the kneeling figure might be the statue of a prisoner or a slave who belonged to some nobleman. This shows that the ancient Shu State was already strong and prosperous.
