The silver multi-lobed dou-stemmed bowl unearthed from the tomb of the Warring-States Period at Xixin is an early silverware in China. Silverwares appeared in China rather late, not only later than bronzes but also later than gold wares. As early as in the Erlitou Period, gold objects have emerged in present-day Ningxia. As for the real gold vessels, they emerged suddenly around the transitional time between the Spring-and-Autumn and Warring-States Periods, which was much later than that of the Near East. The real silver vessel emerged, even much later, at the mid Warring-States Period, or late Warring-States. Among the metalwork techniques of China, bronze casting is the unique one and so developed that other metalwork techniques, such as gold and silverwork, hammering（repoussr）and lost- wax （c/re perdue）, were overwhelmed. On this point, the views of the people in China and the West were different;in the so-called ＂treasures＂ in China, the favorite metal was bronze and the favorite non-metals were cowry and nephrite. These were sharply different from the view of the Western people, whose favorites were gold, silver and gemstones. It has been an issue worthy of further discussion and exploration that what relationships the gold and silver wares had with the Eurasia Steppes, the Central Asia and the Near East; the discovery of the silver multi-lobed dou-stemmed bowl is a valuable clue.
