Tomb unearthed
Print Edition
CHINESE archaeologists yesterday opened the lid of the external coffin of a 2,000-year-old tomb, which they think belongs to a marquis of the Western han Dynasty (206BC-AD25). They found a large number of gold and jade items, a piece of fine lacquerware decorated with gold foil in the space between the inner and external coffin. The external plank is 3.4 meters long and 1.6m wide.
They also discovered a painting of rosefinch on top of the inner coffin. Researchers believe the tomb belongs to Liu he, grandson of emperor Wu, who held the title “haihunhou,” or “Marquis of haihun.” They hope to find his seal in the interior coffin, which would confirm the occupant's identity. The Haihunhou mausoleum near Nanchang, capital of east China’s Jiangxi Province has eight tombs.
