A dragon-shaped bronze statue （青铜像）with a " tiger" head and tiger brain was discovered at the Sanxingdui Ruins（遗址）Site in Guanghan, Sichuan Province. This kind of object has never been found in other sites of the Bronze Age in China.
The shape of this dragon is a bit special as its head is like a tiger's head, and its ears are round like those of a tiger. But it has two long horns（犄角）on its head. Its mouth is also special with something like a knife in it. And its body is like a flying dragon.
According to reports, this statue is about 80 cm high, but it's still not a complete bronze. Experts have found that this statue has no supports in front of it, and its main body exceeds（超出）the base. So it probably needs to lean（倚靠）on other objects to keep its balance.
So where is the missing part? After searching , experts made another great discovery about half a meter away: the top-shaped snake- like figure（雕像）. The 1.5- meter-high body is supported on a square base with both hands, and turns upward. It also needs to lean on other object to keep balance.
Now some experts guess that the two statues are probably the same set of objects. If the guess proves to be true, this will become another huge Sanxingdui Ruins Site since the late 1920s. It all began in 1929 when a farmer was digging a hole there and it opened the door to an unknown culture of 3000 to 5000 years old.
