Description: "This standing figure is obviously the Most Important Person, therefore it stands to reason that he represents a 'high priest' or leader of religious practice. The secular and spiritual leader may have been the same person, thereby increasing the power of the ruling elite over nearly every aspect of communal life." — "A Sacred Trinity: God, Mountain and Bird. Cultic Practices of the Bronze Age Chengdu Plain" by Kimberley S. Te Winkle in Sino-Platonic Papers (2005).
