Erlitou Site Museum of the Xia Capital's Treasures

- Turquoise Dragon: Unearthed from a high-ranking noble tomb at the Erlitou site, it is made up of more than 2,000 pieces of turquoise in various shapes. It is exquisitely made and is a rare treasure among early Chinese dragon-shaped artifacts. - Bronze Plaque with Turquoise Inlay and Animal Mask Design: The body of the plaque is cast in bronze with a main frame, with rounded corners and a slightly concave waist shape, and symmetrical rings on both sides. Hundreds of pieces of turquoise are inlaid to form an animal mask design. The craftsmanship is exquisite, and the pieces fit together perfectly. Despite being three to four thousand years old, none of the pieces have come loose or fallen off. - Bronze Jue with Boss Design: The long spout and pointed tail are elegant and graceful, with an exaggerated and slender shape that is extremely beautiful. It is one of the earliest bronze artifacts discovered in China and is known as the "First Jue of China." - Jade Knife with Seven Holes: The largest jade artifact unearthed at the Erlitou site to date, it is a rare jade treasure. - Bronze Ding with Grid Design: The earliest bronze ding discovered in China to date. The appearance of the Erlitou bronze ding is a symbol of the emergence of royal rituals. - Bone Monkey: 2.2 cm high and 0.75–0.95 cm wide. Made from animal bones, it is polished all over, exquisitely crafted, and lifelike. - Jade Zhang with Dragon Design: The entire piece is composed of a body, handle, and flange, with a beautiful shape, large size, and grand momentum.
