Trumpet-Shaped Gold Artifact


Dimension: Diameter 9.98 cm, height 3 cm, thickness 0.08 cm.

Crafted in gold, this hollow-cast object features a comparatively tall body for its type with a trumpet-like form that narrows at its small flat top and expands gradually toward the circular base. Three evenly spaced swirling cloud motifs adorn its midsection - their fluid, sinuous lines form elegant decorative patterns. While the exterior shines with polished smoothness, the interior retains its original coarse. This treasure carries great historical, artistic, and scientific value, serving as crucial physical evidence for studying the bronze civilization, goldworking craftsmanship in the Chengdu region, and cultural exchanges between the Sichuan Basin and external territories during the Shang-Zhou dynasties.
