At the Sanxingdui Museum in southwest China's Sichuan Province, a dedicated team of young conservators is working to preserve hundreds of elephant tusks unearthed from sacrificial pits. The team, which includes specialists born in the 1990s, utilizes advanced climate-controlled storage to protect these fragile artifacts from mold and decay.
The ongoing restoration project involves meticulous cleaning and scientific analysis of bronze and ceramic relics. By replacing specialized moisture wipes and conducting lab testing on samples, these researchers are ensuring that the extraordinary findings from the Sanxingdui site remain intact for future study and public display.
