鈥楳ystery of Sanxingdui鈥 baffles
MOST museum exhibitions try to give answers, but an unusual Chinese antiquities show nearing the end of its run at the Bowers Museum in Santa Ana focuses on 3,000-year-old artifacts in bronze, gold and jade that mainly have produced bafflement.鈥
“China’s Lost Civilization: the Mystery of Sanxingdui” features more than 120 ceremonial objects that include towering human figures and trees made of bronze, carved heads and masks. They come from Sanxingdui and Jinsha, archaeological sites near Chengdu, the capital of Sichuan Province in southwestern China.鈥
Bowers President Peter Keller said the show, scheduled to run through March 15, marks the first time that pieces from the 2001 Jinsha find have come to the United States.
The Sanxingdui artifacts come from burial pits discovered in 1986, and some were featured in an early 2000s exhibition, “Treasures from a Lost Civilization: Ancient Chinese Art from Sichuan.”
