It comprises 16 volumes.

Volume 13, for example, contains unique evidence of the bronze cultures of the Ba and Shu from ancient Sichuan and the sensational finds from Sanxingdui with their larger-than-life bronze figures and numerous bronze masks with protruding eyes and noses. Volume 14 brings together material from the Dian culture and from Kunming ( Yunnan ) in southern China . Adjacent to Vietnam, these Dong-Son- like bronzes are depictions of people and animals (especially buffalo). The casting of animal and human figures in this region is one of the most realistic in all of China. The bronzes of the northern nationalities in volume 15 are predominantly Ordos bronzes from the northern region and Inner Mongolia.
