三星堆玉祭司H.20cm。游絲式雕琢雷紋,祭司站立之底座四面為戰國時代流行的勾連雲紋,座底為小篆陽文銘文(令出止旂)旂古旗字, 有征伐之意 ,古代皇帝以兵符調兵遣, 本器可能用作軍事令符。增生晶本件玉祭司與已出土三星堆文化銅人雷同。 雙手也是呈半握拳式,似乎托著某種器物。 但是雙手半握拳中空部分的角度並不同,從宗教的儀式角度來解釋,合理的懷疑是一種手勢。 本器之玉質為灰白色閃玉,與本網站三星堆文化鎮國將軍及商玉龍魚之玉質相同。古玉跡象為 溶蝕孔與冰裂紋等.

Based on the carving style, this gray tone jade priest is identified as a Sanxingdui Culture artifact. The hands are seen the posture as the bronze priest unearthed from the number 2 praying pit in Quanghai Sanxingdui, a collection of Sanxingdui Museum.

The bottom of the base has ancient Chinese scripts of 令出止旂 ( upon seeing the order, stop the conquest). Antiquity evidence includes additive crystal, cleaving vein, dissolved pits, and differential weathering.
