3000-year-old Bronze Animal Mask from SanXingDui China is where ArtSciLab member Haoyi Song comes from

Haoyi Song recently donated a magnetic badge to the ArtSciLab. Bronze objects found in the second sacrificial pit included sculptures of humans, animal-faced sculptures, bells, decorative animals such as dragons, snakes, chicks, and birds, and axes. Tables, masks, and belts were some of the objects found that were made out of gold, while objects made out of jade included axes, tablets, rings, knives, and tubes. There was also a large number of ivory and clam shells. Researchers were astonished to find an artistic style that was completely unknown in the history of Chinese art.
