At less than three centimeters tall, a set of 12 bronze dragons engraved with densely packed scales on their body was unearthed at a village in Xi'an, Shaanxi Province in 1970. They are now kept at the Shaanxi History Museum in Xi'an. The dragons were used during Taoist sacrificial rituals during the Tang Dynasty (618-907) and were thrown into a river after the sacrifice.
