The Gold Armor, a symbol of Xi’an Qujiang Museum of Fine Arts, has a history of around 2,700 years. It is made of 25 pieces of exquisite gold flakes in total, in which 21 pieces with lip pattern in the shape of scales, 2 pieces with dragon pattern in the shape of shield and 2 pieces with cloud pattern. This gold armor was originally excavated in Qin tombs at Mt. Dabuzi, Li County, Gansu Province, later was brought to France, and was finally back to China with the help of our investor. It is known as a relatively intact golden armor in China so far. Besides, it is the earliest material object whose manufacturing techniques of gold ware were based on the civilizations of Mediterranean, Egypt and West Asia.
