Made of serpentinized olivine—which contains fine, dispersed particles of magnetite and calcite that lend the surface black, brown, and white streaks—this figure depicts a naked, barefoot male in a kneeling posture with his hands bound behind his back. The hair is parted in the middle with upward‑flaring corners and two braids at the back. His elongated face is marked by sharp angles, a broad forehead with a central ridge, prominent brow ridges, and hazel, painted, round eyes fixed forward; his high, wide nose and tightly closed mouth (adorned with bright cinnabar) are complemented by high cheekbones and sunken cheeks. The ears are splayed horizontally with pierced lobes. The figure leans forward with rounded shoulders and a short neck; its hands—bound by ropes—appear robust yet lack a clearly defined thumb. Kneeling with both knees bent and feet planted, and with the hips resting on the heels, this sculpture is thought to represent an individual of a non-native group from the Jinsha Kingdom at that time. Mature and expressive, the sculpture holds great historical and artistic value for studying the ancient Shu society.
