The bronze stand of a Jiangu, a large barrel drum mounted on a pole, is on display at the Shanxi Museum in Taiyuan City, Shanxi Province, March 14, 2019 as police hold an exhibition to display relics they have recovered. A first-class national cultural relic, the stand from the Warring States Period (475-221 B.C.) features three snakes and delicate images of several other animals. With a diameter of 77 centimeters and 47 centimeters tall, it weighs 80 kilograms, making it the largest and heaviest drum stand ever excavated in China. (Photo/IC)
