A beautiful golden ribbon was extracted from the No. 4 sacrificial pit.
It is reported that the dozens of gold belts in the No. 4 sacrifice pit are in the shape of a ball and overlap.
The newly extracted gold belt is curled in the upper part of the pit.
According to the speculation of archaeologists, this kind of gold strips may be decorations or components on other artifacts.
It is reported that gold belts like this have been seen in Sacrificial Pit No. 1 and Pit No. 2 excavated in 1986.
The archaeologists also extracted a bronze figure sitting on knees with his head turned from the sacrificial pit No.
This figure sits on a kneeling posture, with his hands folded, his head twisted to the right, and a long copper ware is attached to his head.
At the same time, there are two bronze figures with identical shapes and volumes in the No. 4 sacrificial pit. The archaeologists speculate that the three figures may be a set of combined artifacts.
