Summary: |
"Objects represent more than 20 cultures are remarkably well preserved.
From the Neolithic period are finely carved jade and stone works, and painted pottery.
The Early Bronze Age cultures in both north and south are represented by finds from Xiaotun, Saxingdui, and Xin'gan.
From Chu and other states that flourished at the point of conversion of the Bronze and Iron Ages are silk, lacquer, jade and ritual bronzes.
The Imperial Age produced such astonishing works as the Qin terra-cotta army Lintong, jade burial suits,
Buddhist sculpture from Qingzhou, and gold and silver from the Famen monastery.
Each splendid object is catalogued by leading experts in Chinese art and archaeology, and all are reproduced in full color." CLICK THE "MORE IMAGES" LINK ABOVE TO SEE MORE OF THIS TITLE |
