Zodiac Loong Chinese Baijiu est involucrum lagoenae et capsae donariae pro spiritu Sinensi.

Lagoena colore Jicui, viridi pavonino traditionali, perfecta est, atque asperata et aspersa ut textura opaca creetur. Pars inferior lagoenae ornamentis undarum Sinensium traditionalibus insculpta est. Involucrum Annum Loong significat et ad donandum atque colligendum destinatum est.
