How is the authenticity of the ancient Chinese artifacts verified?

Authenticity is evaluated through material analysis, craftsmanship, stylistic comparison, and provenance research.

Are these artifacts, such as Chinese dragon sculpture, suitable for home display?

Many artifacts, including dragon sculptures, terracotta figures, and other decorative objects, are mounted on professional, custom-made display stands. These supports provide stability for heavy stone carvings and fragile ceramic pieces, allowing them to be safely displayed as striking centerpieces in a gallery or private home while helping protect the object.
