承弓器是战国至汉代战车上的专属青铜构件，安装在战车舆侧的阑干上，用于承放弓弩、防止颠簸脱落，是古代车战制度的标志性器物。错金银工艺的承弓器则属于贵族战车的配置，以金丝、银丝在青铜胎体上镶嵌出繁复的云纹、兽纹与几何图案，金银交辉，工艺极尽精巧，代表了当时青铜细工的最高水准。
The bow holder is a specialized bronze component on war chariots from the Warring States Period to the Han Dynasty. Mounted on the side rail of the chariot compartment, it was used to rest crossbows and prevent them from falling during bumpy rides, making it an iconic artifact of ancient chariot warfare. Bow holders made with the gold and silver inlay technique were reserved for noble chariots. Intricate cloud patterns, animal motifs, and geometric designs are inlaid with gold and silver threads on the bronze base, creating a dazzling effect and representing the highest level of bronze craftsmanship at the time.
由于车战在汉代之后逐渐衰落，承弓器的存世量远少于刀剑、戈矛等常规兵器，且多数锈蚀严重，带有完整错金银纹饰的精品更是极为罕见。这类器物不仅是古代军事装备的实物见证，更反映了战国时期列国贵族对战车装饰的极致追求 —— 战车既是作战工具，也是身份与国力的象征，每一处纹饰细节都彰显着使用者的等级与实力。
As chariot warfare declined after the Han Dynasty, far fewer bow holders have survived compared to conventional weapons like swords and spears, and most are heavily corroded. Fine specimens with complete gold and silver inlay patterns are extremely rare. These artifacts are not only physical evidence of ancient military equipment, but also reflect the extreme pursuit of chariot decoration by nobles during the Warring States Period. Chariots were both combat tools and symbols of status and national power, with every decorative detail reflecting the rank and strength of their owner.
