Ancient gold and silver wares on show in S China's Guangxi

Exquisite gold and silver wares from ancient China went on display at Nanning Museum in South China's Guangxi Zhuang autonomous region from Jan 18, 2018.

The gilded silver sachet with canary patterns is one of the biggest draws as its design resembles the silver sachet shown in National Treasure, a hit CCTV program on historical relics.

The over-1,000-year-old sachet, which has sophisticated mechanics, still functions well. No matter how the outer globe rotates, the inner case with kindled incense always stays upright so no sparks sprinkle outside.

The exhibition will run for 3 months.
