Snake artifact used in shamanic rituals 4,000 years ago, archaeologists say
In Taiwan, archaeologists unearthed a snake-shaped relic believed to have been utilized in ancient religious ceremonies.
The serpent-like artifact, dating back approximately 4,000 years, was found last year in Taoyuan City, located about 30 miles west of Taipei, as detailed in a news release from the National Tsing Hua University’s archaeology department on February 9.
Crafted from pottery and measuring several inches in length, the object resembles a cobra with a raised head and an open mouth, according to university officials.
The discovery holds significance, and it is suggested that the artifact was once affixed to a vessel, possibly a bowl, serving as a handle, Herald Online reported.
