The Han dynasty was the first to forge a stable empire governing
all of China. It ruled during a golden age that shaped much of the
nation's cultural history and development. In an effort to preserve
their legacy of beauty and power, the Han created elaborate tombs
containing exquisite artistic treasures intended for use in the
afterlife. 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. Featuring newly commissioned
photography and essays by leading scholars, this sumptuously
illustrated catalogue presents a ground-breaking account of the
finest treasures from the Han dynasty. Published in association
with The Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge Exhibition Schedule: The
Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge(05/05/12-11/11/12)
