Description
The cultural relics in the museum were mostly unearthed from the Sanxingdui site. Sanxingdui is the largest and most ancient gathering of Shu (Sichuan) cultural relics. The systematic excavation and archeological work of Three-star Piles Relic began in 1933 and continued for half a century. The excavation from Three-star Piles Relic shows the development of Shu from late Neolithic Age (7000 BC-5000 BC) through to the late Shang (16th - 11th century BC) and early Zhou Period (11th century BC - 711 BC) and even padded the blankness of bronze culture in Chinese archaeological history.
More than 1000 cultural relics, unearthed in the two sacrificial pits which found in 1986, include a 142-centimeter long, 500-gram golden staff; a golden veiled head portrait; a 260-centimeter tall, 180-kilogram bronze figure; a big, bronze mask with more than 10-centimeter bulging pupils and two ears spaced at 168 centimeters; and a big Yuzhang (a kind of jade adornment of the leader of a tribe, the symbol of power). All of them are very impressive.

In order to preserve and display the cultural relics, the Three-star Piles Museum was founded in 1992 and opened in October 1997.
