cultural relic gold and silver ware
Gold and silver ware occupied an important position in historical relics and were the key carriers of traditional China culture and art. As a precious metal, gold and silver had moderate hardness, good malleability, easy to hammer into shape, bright natural color, and did not easily change color due to oxidization. These characteristics made it a high-quality material for making crafts. Gold and silver products had already appeared in the Shang Dynasty. During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, gold and silver inlaid techniques had appeared. However, gold and silver utensils had appeared relatively late. They were relatively rare before the Han Dynasty, and more were discovered in the Tang Dynasty. Some of the gold and silver utensils in the Northern Dynasty and the early Tang Dynasty were shaped and decorated in the style of Sassanid gold and silver ware, indicating that they were influenced by Persian gold and silver ware. At that time, the patterns were mostly flowers and birds. In the Tang Dynasty, sheet metal, casting, welding, cutting, polishing, suturing, plating, hammering, chiseling, embedding and other techniques were widely used. After the Song Dynasty, the various crafts became more complicated and exquisite, and there were even products that combined gold, silver, lacquer, and wood. Judging from the collection, among the large number of gold and silver articles collected by the Palace Museum, the gold and silver articles used by the emperors and empresses of the Qing Dynasty were the most abundant, covering ritual instruments, daily utensils, furnishings, Buddha statues, shrines, offerings, and ritual implements among religious relics. These articles were made by casting, hammering, carving, and silk. Many of them were inlaid with precious gems, jade, jade, tourmaline, etc. They were unique in shape and exquisite in decoration, full of palace characteristics. It had high historical and artistic value. In terms of identifying the authenticity of gold and silver items, it mainly included the identification of the material quality and the identification of the manufacturing year. Modern technology could accurately identify the texture, and there were also simple methods from experience. For example, if the density of gold was high, gold products of the same volume would be heavier. Gold and silver were hard, soft, and malleable. If they were lightly scratched with metal objects, genuine products would leave dents. Gold and silver were stable in chemical properties. Gold was not easily oxided in the air and did not change color in acidic solutions. On the other hand, gold-plated products were prone to peeling off the surface, rusting, and being covered by copper. According to the unearthed discoveries, in 1993, Pengzhou discovered a "treasure pit" of the Song Dynasty. 351 pieces of gold and silver ware were unearthed, including 115 national treasure-level cultural relics. The Hejia Village Treasure Hall of Shaanxi History Museum had a hunting pattern silver cup that reflected the peak of gold and silver ware carving in the Tang Dynasty. Although it was small in size, it could vividly portray hunting scenes in an inch. It was a living ware that integrated art and practicality. In terms of exhibition, more than 150 pieces of fine cultural relics of the Xia, Shang and Zhou Dynasties from the Henan Museum were exhibited in Hong Kong. Among them, gold and silver ware were exhibited during the Shang and Zhou Dynasties. The "Golden Jue" of the Zhou Dynasty was one of the fine gold and silver ware of the Zhou Dynasty, reflecting the superb skills of gold and silver ware production at that time.

Ancient Roman gold and silver ware
Ancient Roman gold and silver ware had many characteristics. ** 1. Craftsmanship ** 1. ** embossed decoration ** - Most of the reliefs on ancient Roman silverware were hammered. Due to the soft texture and good malleability of silver, through hammering and forging, it could show realistic human figures and animal and plant patterns, with clear outlines and full body. However, the hammering would cause the inside of the silver plate to be uneven, so the inside of such objects was often layered with a flat layer of silver plate to form a sandwich. After the completion, it was gilded, and the finished product was exquisite. 2. ** Craftsmanship Fusion ** - At that time, skilled craftsmen from Idararia, Greece, the Middle East, Egypt, and other places came to the hinterland of Rome to engage in design and production activities. The local metal craftsmen in Rome benefited from it, which made the ancient Roman gold and silver ware production process integrate many cultural elements. ** 2. Styling and Practicality ** - The shape of the gold and silver objects reflected the Roman emphasis on practicality to a certain extent. For example, gold bowls and silver bowls were mostly large mouths, curved walls, narrow bottoms, and wide handles. This shape was easy to use, place, carry, and pour. At the same time, there were subtle changes in the elegance. ** 3. In terms of decoration theme ** - Mythological stories were the most common images on Roman gold and silver ware. The decorative subjects included legends such as the revelry of Bacchus, the triumphant return of the sea god, the dance of the shepherd god, and the birth of the goddess of love, or the great heroes of historical legends such as Heracles and Austin. In addition, secular life, birds, animals, flowers, and plants were also common objects of expression. ** 4. Usage and Value ** 1. ** Various uses ** - Most of the gold and silver ware were practical utensils, such as bowls, jars, cups, etc. There were also gorgeous wine vessels used to make offerings for religious ceremonies, such as Greek shallow bowls. Some of them might have been displayed in private homes, and then sacrificed to the local Mercury god in a special sacrificial ceremony. 2. ** Symbol of wealth and value ** - As a rare and precious metal, silver was an excellent material for making crafts and also the main goal of accumulating wealth. According to historical records, ancient Rome relied on its powerful military strength to plunder a large amount of wealth in its foreign invasion and expansion. For example, in 198 B.C., the silverware looted by the Roman army after the destruction of Kadak weighed 4370 pounds, almost equivalent to the entire silver reserves in the area. ** 5. Archeological discoveries ** - In 1830, an underground cellar of the ancient Roman era was discovered in Berthouville, a small town in northwestern France. 93 pieces of fine gold and silver ware made in the 1st and 2nd centuries were unearthed. There were ruins of the Temple of Mercury near the cellar. Most of the gold and silver objects unearthed were practical tools, and there were two statues. This cellar was considered one of the best Roman gold and silver objects that could be seen at present. After the cellar was discovered, it underwent different degrees of restoration work. It was initially cleaned in the 19th century and restored in 2010 - 2014. - A gold-plated silver plate with divine patterns made in ancient Rome was unearthed on the bank of the Yellow River in Jingyuan County, Baiyin City, Gansu Province, China. The raw materials were produced in North Africa, probably in a North African city along the Mediterranean coast during ancient Rome.

There was also the Yuan Dynasty's "Seal of Ten Thousand Families of the Han Army" in the collection of the Zhaodong City Museum, which was also made by sand casting, but this seal was more crude. In the field of China antique art, the art of turning sand was also used to counterfeit.
