Four-goat Square Zun

The Four-goat Square Zun (Chinese: 四羊方尊; pinyin: Sì Yáng Fāng Zūn) is an ancient Chinese ritual bronze zun vessel. It is more than 3,000 years old from the era of late Shang dynasty (11th – 10th century BC), and famous for its shape, each of the four sides of the belly has a big horn-curled goat. It was unearthed in Huangcai Town, Ningxiang County in Hunan Province, and is exhibited at the National Museum of China.
