The Sun and Immortal Birds Gold Ornament, with a gold purity of 94.2% and a mere 0.02-centimeter thickness, has preserved its breathtaking beauty for over 3,000 years. This precious artifact is now housed at the Jinsha Site Museum in Chengdu, Sichuan Province. In 2005, its image was officially designated as the symbol of China’s cultural heritage, cementing its status as a national treasure.
