内容简介

This gold crown once accompanied its owner as he galloped over the grassland. The gold crown shows off the highest metal working skills of the northern nomads in the Warring States period. It represents the pride and glory of the grasslands. On the top of the crown is an eagle. Its head, neck and tail are connected with gold wire. When the owner rode on horseback, the eagle rock to and fro, looking like it was about to take off. On the petal-shaped crown, a pattern of four wolves attacking four sheep has been engraved. On the main diadem there is a tense standoff between a tiger and its prey; it might pounce at any time.The grassland nomads had no written language, so their history was written for them by others. In the records of the Han culture of the central plains, the Xiongnu were once called Xianyun. Xian means dog with a long snout. They were seen as greedy and cruel, often coming south to raid and pillage. However from the perspective of the owner of the eagle finial crown, things might seem quite different.Compared to the agriculture civilization in the central plains, the grassland nomads had a totally different take on life. Their ornaments all feature animals; hunting, fighting, or just lying in wait. The Gold Crown with Eagle Finial is at the peak of this competition for survival.
