The finest of these treasures to have survived include exquisite jades bronzes and ceramics found in the tombs of the Han imperial family and of a rival "emperor" of Nanyue. Many of the items including warrior statues dancing figures and priceless jewels -- intended to ensure protection entertainment and continued wealth and status respectively -- are brought together for the first time in this stunning publication.
