尊呈犀牛形，犀牛昂首佇立，身體肥碩，四腿短粗，皮厚而多皺，兩角尖銳。犀角中指紋圖案，象徵著正義與向上之精神。不僅代表著藝術家個體，而是像徵著每個存在個體；並與之產生共鳴。尊腹中空，尊背有橢圓形口，開闔有蓋。可用來作為盛酒器。體態熠熠生輝，雖似青銅重器，卻有洋溢著充沛的活力。
古時，人們把犀牛和象視為神奇的動物，並創作了很多帶有犀牛或像等形象的盛器，被稱為犀尊。尊盛行於商代至西周時期，其中最為著名的有現存收藏於中國國家博物館的錯金銀尊，尊既是一種大中型盛酒器和禮器，也是一種尊貴和權力的象徵。此件犀牛尊上溯至古而延續至今，是藝術家背後文化底蘊承載的一種外在物化顯現。
"The vessel is shaped like a rhinoceros, standing tall with a plump body, short, thick legs, thick, wrinkled skin, and two sharp horns. The fingerprint pattern on the horns symbolizes the spirit of justice and upward movement. It represents not only the individual artist but also every existing individual, resonating with them. The vessel's belly is hollow, and there is an oval-shaped opening on the back with a lid that can be used as a wine container. Despite its appearance as a heavy bronze object, the vessel radiates vitality and shines with life.
In ancient times, rhinos and elephants were considered mystical creatures, and many vessels with their images were created, known as "Rhino Vessels." These vessels were popular from the Shang Dynasty to the Western Zhou Dynasty. The most renowned of these is the gilded silver vessel, which is now housed in the National Museum of China. Not only was the vessel a large and medium-sized wine container and gift, but it was also a symbol of nobility and power. This Rhino Vessel has a long history, stretching from ancient times to the present day, representing the external manifestation of the cultural heritage behind the artist."
