The top ten cultural relics in Sanxingdui are as follows:

1. Portrait of a bronze statue

Among the numerous bronze statues in Sanxingdui, the "supreme ruler" who can lead the group image is the Portrait of a bronze statue! No matter from the aspects of clothing, image or size, this giant portrait can be called a "leader". As far as the world is concerned, Sanxingdui bronze giant is also the largest bronze figure statue at the same time.

No.2 and No.1 large-scale bronze sacred tree

No.1 large-scale bronze sacred tree is composed of three parts: base, tree and dragon. It is cast by subsection casting method, using the processes of sleeve casting, riveting casting and embedding casting, with a height of 3.96 meters, and the top of the trunk and the back section of the dragon are slightly incomplete. Of all the bronze relics seen so far in China, this sacred tree can also be called the largest one.

3. The golden staff

The golden staff is the largest unearthed gold ware of the same period in China. The golden staff was beaten with gold bars into gold skin, and then wrapped on the wooden staff. When unearthed, the wooden staff was carbonized, leaving only the gold skin, and carbonized wood residue remained in the gold skin.

At one end of the golden staff, there is a pattern about 46 cm long. The pattern is divided into three groups: the group near the end. When closed, it looks like the heads of two people who are symmetrical before and after, wearing a five-toothed Wu crown and triangular earrings, with smiles. The other two groups have the same pattern, with two birds and fish with opposite backs above and below, and an arrow is stacked on the neck of the bird and the head of the fish.

4. Jade Zhang

The body is fish-shaped, and each line on both sides is engraved with a tooth Zhang pattern. In the open "fish mouth", a bird is engraved. The theme of the combination of fish and birds has profound implications, which may be related to the ancient Shu king Yu Fu in ancient legends.

This device is exquisitely made. It uses a variety of techniques, such as engraving, line engraving, pipe drilling, polishing and so on. In the selection of materials, it also makes full use of the color gradient of jade materials to show the fish's back and abdomen, which can be described as unique and ingenious.

5. Bronze vertical mask

The bronze vertical mask is one of the "six national treasures" of Sanxingdui, and its eyes are columnar and protruding outward. A pair of ears carved with decorative patterns spread out to both sides, which are magnificent and majestic.

7, gold mask

The gold mask is made of gold foil, with a convex nose and a sharp edge in the middle, and the production process is excellent. Its size is basically consistent with the proportion of human heads and faces unearthed in the same pit, which can be matched. It is estimated that it may have been attached to someone's head and face. Two damaged gold masks have also been unearthed in the No.2 pit, which are roughly the same size as this one, or they may have fallen off the head of the bronze man in the same pit.

8. copper crown mask

The eyes of the mask are cylindrical and convex, protruding about 1 cm forward, and the ears are fully spread to both sides, and the forehead is cast with a dragon-shaped forehead ornament about 7 cm high.

Its overall modeling image was mysterious and mysterious, and its style was magnificent and gorgeous, which stood out among all kinds of characters in Sanxingdui.

9. Gold-faced bronze head

This is a B-shaped dome with gold-faced bronze head. Judging from the outline of the concave line on the face of the bronze statue, it seems that the face itself has been cast into a one-piece copper mask that covers the top of the head and only leaves the center. The gold mask is attached to this mask. The gold mask of this bronze head is extremely thin, leaving only the right forehead and left face. There is a lump in the back of the head, and the upper and lower ends are incomplete.

1. Pottery three-legged cookers

In p>1986, the pottery three-legged cookers unearthed from Sanxingdui site stood upright, and they could be heated by a fire. The water capacity is very large, and the wide disk surface is similar to the edge of the pickle jar in Sichuan today, which can hold water or store things.
