"Zilong" ding, a three-legged bronze bowl from the Shang Dynasty (1600-1100 BC)
The bronze ware dating back more than 3,000 years, was returned to China after being lost overseas for about 60 years. The vessel, with the inscription "Zilong", is the largest of its kind ever discovered from the Shang Dynasty. After long negotiations between cultural relics departments on the mainland and its owner in Hong Kong, the ding was returned to the mainland in April, 2006.
