Cultural Background

Sanxingdui (三星堆, ‘Three Star Mounds’) in Guanghan, Sichuan, is China’s most mysterious Bronze Age site: a 3,000+ year old civilization (c. 1200 BCE) discovered in 1986 whose artifacts rewrote Chinese history. Its towering bronze masks with protruding eyes, gold-veneered faces, and alien-like standing figures belong to no known dynasty — the ancient Shu kingdom made bronzes unlike anything else on Earth, and why they buried them in sacrificial pits remains one of archaeology’s great enigmas.

Function & Features

The 4m original ‘bronze sacred tree’ with nine sun-birds on its branches echoes the myth of the ten suns and the Fusang tree — the most complex bronze casting ever attempted in the ancient world. This detailed scale replica shows the birds, dragon, and three-tier structure.

Main Uses
