(ECNS)--A bronze chariot, dating from the Western Zhou Dynasty (1046-771 BC), has been restored by cultural-relics protection workers in a project lasting for three years.
The chariot, 3.13 meters long, 2.7 meters wide and 1.5 meters high, was unearthed with skeletal remains of four horses.
It is equipped with about 400 bronze fittings, most of which are inlaid with delicate accessories like turquoise and jade.
Based on the minimal signs of abrasion on the wheels, the chariot is believed as a ceremonial vehicle for high-level nobles, not for the wars.
