古滇國(今雲南)時間相當於中原地區的戰國至西漢。自古以來以產金著名,《史記·西南夷傳》:”楚威王時,使將軍莊蹻將兵循江上,略巴、蜀、黔中以西。莊蹻者,故楚莊王苗𧜟也。蹻至滇池,地方三百里,旁平地,肥饒數千里,以兵威定屬楚,欲歸報,㑹秦,撃奪楚,巴、黔中郡道塞不通,因還。“可見古滇國因產金而為楚國垂涎。
滇國金飾特色濃鬱,臂甲是戰爭中防身護警的用具,有銅甲、銀甲、金甲,有單組臂甲,也有組合式臂甲,後者由上下兩節套合而成,上段為鐲,下段為筒狀瓦楞形波紋的臂箍,側面開口,口沿有小孔,以便穿繩。參見雲南省博物館藏1955年晉寧石寨山一號墓出土金臂甲。
Length of largest 3 3/8 in., 8.6 cm.
