We just learned about the Jade Burial Suits.
Another famous ancient Chinese sculpture is the Houmuwu Ding.
A "ding" is a sculpture that was used to offer up sacrifices to different gods in ancient China.
This ding is the largest piece of ancient bronze artwork that was ever found.
On the ding it says "Queen Mother Wu" so people think this was made for her after she died, by her son Zu Geng of Shang.
It is 52 inches tall, 43 inches wide, 31 inches deep and it weighs over 1,800 pounds!
There are decorations around it of animals, like dragons and tigers attacking humans.
