China unveils world's largest cloisonne square zun in Hebei

(ECNS) -- A copper cloisonné work inspired by China’s famed Four Ram Square Zun has been certified as the world’s largest cloisonné square zun at Hebei Jinxi Iron and Steel Group Co., Ltd. in Qianxi County, Hebei Province.

The Shengshi Five-Ram Zun stands 7.2 meters tall and weighs 3.68 metric tons, which was created by four national-level inheritors of China’s intangible cultural heritage. 

Inspired by the Four-Ram Zun, a prized artifact of the National Museum of China, the work features a dynamic flying ram, four-sided seasonal scenes and a base.

Guinness World Records adjudicator Yang Shaopeng presented the certificate at the ceremony on Friday.
