From the Eurasian steppe to the Central Plain, the art of gold has traveled across time and culture.
Now, the exhibition Ancient Gold Ornaments from the Collection of the Hong Kong Palace Museum has opened grandly at the Capital Museum in Beijing, tracing how gold evolved from an imported luxury to a refined symbol of ritual and artistry in ancient China. Each piece gleams with stories of craftsmanship, trade and cultural fusion across millennia.
