Gold ornament with dragon pattern
Warring States Period
Unearthed from Liuping, Qingshui County
It is 5.3-5.7 cm in length and 4.3-4.7 cm in transverse direction.
It is a butterfly shaped hammer dish made of thin gold. Two dragons are coiled in a cross. One side of the dragon head is decorated with two small dragons, and one side of the dragon head is decorated with a small tiger to bite the tail of a dragon. There are two nail holes on the upper edge and one nail hole on the lower edge. The tangled patterns of animals originated from Ordos. However, the patterning of the dragon head is very obvious, which is basically the same as that of the Central Plains.
