"It is amazing to use assembled toy to restore an artifact!" some netizens said.
Based on a cultural relic, a bronze running horse that was excavated in Wuwei, Gansu province, the Gansu Provincial Museum developed a series of cultural creative products, including folding fan, stuffed animal, mask and coffee.
The bronze horse is renowned for its exquisite casting and was recognized as a national treasure by experts from National Cultural Heritage Administration in 1996.
