San Liang Jiang is packaging for a liquor inspired by the culture of Sanxingdui, an ancient site in Chinese history. The ceramic bottle takes its form from a bronze human face, and the upper part of the bottle can be used as a cup. Spray paint and gold stamping are applied to the surface, and black is the main colour. The bottle is wrapped in a clay-like material and placed inside a convex tin box measuring 250 by 175 by 100 millimetres. Small shovels, brushes and hammers are included, so the bottle is uncovered like an excavated relic.
