Unearthed at the end of 2008 from a tomb of Wei or Jin Dynasties, dating back 1,700 years, only the front part of the bronze horse was found in integrity while the back in pieces. After seven months' restoration, the archaeologists have reshaped the bronze horse and demoulded the sculpture successfully on Tuesday.
