A special exhibition opened at the Henan Museum, featuring two Shang Dynasty (c.1600BC-1046BC) bronze vessels – the Fu Hao owl-shaped vessel – from the National Museum of China and the Henan Museum. This marks the first time in 50 years since their excavation that the two vessels have been displayed together in their hometown of Henan. The vessels are currently the earliest bird-shaped bronze wine vessels discovered in China. Photo: VCG
