This cultural relic is a bronze vessel called "Fuhao Haozun", which is one of the two owl shaped statues from the Shang Dynasty. This owl shaped statue was discovered in 1976 at the Fuhao Tomb in Anyang City, Henan Province, China. The owl shaped statue is divided into two parts: the detachable owl head and the hollow body of the bird. Animal shaped vessels are almost the only known bronze sculptures from the Shang Dynasty. This owl is one of the oldest and most naturalistic surviving owl shaped statues. Its form showcases the influence of Anyang, the capital of the Shang Dynasty, in the north, but the style and casting techniques of the vessels indicate that it is related to the bronze tradition of the Yangtze River region in southern and central China. The cultural relics are currently collected in the National Museum of China.
