The Massive Bronze Sacred Tree, also known as the No. 1 Sacred Tree, is one of the most iconic treasures at the Sanxingdui Museum in Sichuan Province.
Though incomplete at the top, the restored tree still stands at an impressive 396 centimeters tall, making it the largest single bronze artifact ever discovered in the world.

The base of the tree resembles three interconnected mountain peaks. From this foundation rises the trunk with three tiers of branches. Nine birds perch along the branches, while a dragon stretches down one side of the trunk, poised to take flight.
