On the territory of which country was the ancient artifact Golden Sun Bird found?
The Golden Sun Bird is an ancient artifact, unearthed in 2001 from the Jinsha Ruins in Chengdu City, Sichuan Province, China.
It is a ring-shaped piece of foil, made of nearly pure gold. The pattern consists of four birds, flying in the same counterclockwise direction, located around the perimeter. The center is a sun pattern with twelve points. It is 12.5 cm in diameter, with a 5.29 cm inner diameter. It has a thickness of 0.02 cm and weighs 20 grams.

fWhat is this "On the territory of which country" about? The artifact was found near Chengdu, which is in the middle of China, well away from any borders with other countries. Goodness knows who put it there in ancient antiquity, but a good bet would be someone local to the area.
