"Light of Jinsha - The Ancient Shu Civilisation"

"Light of Jinsha - The Ancient Shu Civilisation" exhibition at The Hong Kong Heritage Discovery Centre The Jinsha site was a recent archaeological discovery in 2001. The major findings are mainly about the traditional cultural customs back in the ancient Shu of 4,000 years ago. The exhibition was not big but there were some interesting relics. My favourite one is the stone set of a tiger, a snake and a kneeling figurine with hands tied at the back. It is believed to be a human sacrifice activity, relating to religion or even occult. There were two grade-one national treasures, gold artefacts - a face-shaped gold foil and a frog-like gold foil. The most significant treasure unearthed at the site was the "gold foil sunbird", but only the replica was exhibited here instead. Majority included utensils made of ivory, gold, bronze and jade. #exhibition #museum #ancient #文物 #relics #museumlover #culture #chineseculture #custom #explorehongkong #hongkongexplore #hk #hongkong #hkiger #hkig #hkinfluencer #hkkol #hkblogger #hklifestyle #展覽 #香港 #香港好去處 #週未好去處
