Yuanmingyuan cultural relic gilded bronze elephant head
The gold-plated bronze elephant head was excavated from the Imperial River at the site of the Great Palace Gate of the Old Summer Palace. It was a masterpiece of the royal ware of the Qing Dynasty. Its craftsmanship was exquisite, far surpassing the craftsmanship of the twelve zodiacs. The elephant's head had a long and curly nose, long teeth, and big ears. The overall shape was exquisite, the lines were smooth and natural, and the expression was serene and realistic. Although it had been eroded by time, it still shone golden under the light. When the archeological team excavated the cultural relics around the Dagongmen River in 2014, they accidentally found this elephant head wrapped in mud like a mud lump in the mud at the bottom of the river. After sending it to the laboratory and spending half a month cleaning it, its true appearance was revealed. Some scholars pointed out that it represented the highest level of gold gilding in China. Elephants were regarded as noble and auspicious symbols in China culture. The Yuanmingyuan archeological team speculated that the gold-plated elephant head might be part of an object (such as a tripod or furnace). It might be that the elephant head accidentally fell into the river when it was transported away.

Bronze Horse Introduction
Bronze horses had different characteristics in different periods. The bronze horse from the Warring States Period was 29cm tall and was a male horse. It stood upright with its ears erect and its nostrils wide open, as if it was panting. The shape of the horse's head was delicate and vivid, and the body showed its fat and strong body. There was a knot on the ponytail, which was a funerary object. In the Shang and Zhou Dynasties, royal guards and chariots and horses were often unearthed from the tombs of nobles. At that time, the animal images in the tombs were mostly shaped like crafts, or used as containers or as seats. By the Warring States Period, various funerary objects appeared. Although the shapes were ancient and clumsy, it marked the emergence of a new funeral system and laid the foundation for the development of pottery funerary objects in later generations. In September 1969, a bronze horse was unearthed in the tomb of Leitai, Xinxian Village, Jinyang Town, Wuwei City, Gansu Province. It was 34.5 cm high, 45 cm long, and its four hooves were in the air. There were 99 bronze chariots and horses unearthed from Leitai Tomb in Wuwei, where the bronze horse was located, including 38 horses, 1 cow, 14 chariots, 17 warrior figurines and 29 slave horse figurines. In November 2003, a bronze horse was unearthed from Tomb 26 of the Han Dynasty tombs in Fengmenling, Hepu, Guangxi Province. It was 94.8 cm high and 98.8 cm long. The head of the horse neighed. Its eyes were wide open, its ears were sharp, its upper and lower lips were wide and wide, and its mouth was open to reveal its teeth. Its front legs were straight and raised on the right side. Its hind legs were slightly bent, and its tail was bent as if it wanted to run forward. It was composed of seven parts, head, body, tail and legs. Ancient craftsmen first cast them separately and then pieced them together. A bronze horse from the Eastern Han Dynasty unearthed in Fangling Village, Xushui District in 1981. It was 1.16 meters high and 70 centimeters long. There were two horses, one with a straight neck and the other with a curved neck. They weighed about 51 kilograms. Their ears, head, body, and legs were cast separately and assembled tightly. It was a national first-class cultural relic and had been exhibited abroad many times. There were also bronze horses abroad. For example, the New York City's Metropolis Museum of Art had a bronze horse from the 8th century B.C. in Greece. There was a bronze horse that was first purchased in 1923 and was identified as an early classical masterpiece of the 5th century B.C. Its authenticity was later questioned due to technical reasons. After scientific analysis, including thermoluminescent measurements of the clay core, its authenticity was confirmed. Now, based on the understanding of the early style of Hellenized art, it was more likely to be identified as a late Hellenized work. In the classical period, these large statues were mainly religious in nature. In the Hellenistic era, they had other uses, such as decorating private houses or making them for the Roman art market.
