It is a knife-shaped earth shaft. Although it was seriously robbed in ancient times, still a batch of important funeral objects was unearthed from the tomb pit. Among them are bronzes, jade and stone artifacts, lacquer-, bone-and shell-ware, and gold- and silver-covered articles, of which the bronzes include vessel details, weapons,chariot fittings, tools and musical instruments. Judged by its grave goods and inscriptions, the tomb must go back to the turn from the Spring-and-Autumn to the Warring States period. The chamber and coffin structure, funeral objects and size of the tomb suggest that the tomb-owner might have been an important minister of the Jin state.展开更多
