Bronze Standing Figure: A bronze figure standing 1.8 meters tall on a 0.8-meter-high pedestal. This is one of the most representative artifacts of the Sanxingdui Kingdom and a rare large bronze figure from ancient civilizations. 2. Bronze Vertical-Eyed Mask: Among the many bronze masks unearthed at Sanxingdui, the most peculiar and majestic is the Bronze Vertical-Eyed Mask. It is 0.66 meters high and 1.38 meters wide, one of the most famous and mysterious artifacts of the ancient Shu civilization. 3. Bronze Sun-Shaped Artifact: A sun wheel resembling a "steering wheel" uses five rays and a halo to represent the sun's brilliance. Artifacts of this shape have never been seen in previous archaeological finds. 4. Gold-Masked Bronze Head: Gold was highly valued in ancient Shu. Among the 57 bronze heads, only four wear gold masks, indicating their high status. Scholars believe that the hairpin hairstyle may also be a symbol of status. 5. Bronze Altar: The Bronze Altar unearthed from the No. 2 sacrificial pit has been restored through research. Its structure, from top to bottom, consists of a shrine and mountain peaks, a shaman, and a pair of mythical birds, symbolizing the three realms of heaven, earth, and humanity, showcasing the ancient Shu people's mythological worldview.
