The Red Gold Basin housed in the Shaanxi History Museum is a precious Tang Dynasty gold artifact, unearthed in 1970 from the Hejia Village hoard in the southern suburbs of Xi'an. This gold basin stands 6.5 cm tall, has a diameter of 28.9 cm, and weighs 2075 grams, making it one of the largest gold basins discovered from the Tang Dynasty. Made of pure gold, the basin features a simple and elegant design, with minimal decoration, exuding a sense of simplicity and solemnity. The craftsmanship is exquisite, utilizing the repoussé technique to create a smooth and lustrous surface. In the Tang Dynasty, gold basins were not only used in the daily lives of royalty but also in important ceremonial events, symbolizing wealth and status. The discovery of this Red Gold Basin provides extremely important physical evidence for studying Tang Dynasty gold and silver craftsmanship, social life, and ceremonial systems.
