Cultural relics unearthed from the tomb of Marquis of Haihun, an aristocrat of Western Han Dynasty (206 BC - 24 AD), are exhibited in Jiangxi Provincial Museum in Nanchang, capital of east China's Jiangxi province, from Nov. 17, 2015. This exhibition will last one week.
The cemetery of Marquis of Haihun covers roughly 40,000 square meters and contains eight tombs and a chariot burial site. It is the most complete Western Han cemetery ever discovered in China.
Archaeologists have so far unearthed more than 10,000 pieces of relics from the tombs, including chariots, bronze cooking utensils, wine vessels, lamps and ancient coins.
Archaeologists are exploring the main tomb which is thought to belong to Liu He, grandson of Emperor Wu, whose reign ushered in one of the most prosperous periods in China's history.
