In order to restore a bronze cowrie - container having tiger - handles and an eight - yak design, from the Shanghai Museum, a device for connecting its shape was designed to restore it according to deformation features of the container. During the shape - correction process, the device efficiently corrected the shape. The device provides good support when forces were applied on the container, thus avoiding fracture of the container. This shape connection device is easy to use and has good prospects for restoration of other objects.
