New spotlight on treasures

This scene was depicted on a mural inside a tomb of the Northern Wei Dynasty (386-534).

Over the past two years, the mural has been reproduced by artists and archaeologists.

And it is now on show at the Arthur M. Sackler Museum of Art and Archaeology at Peking University.

The original mural, abundant with vivid details, astonished archaeologists, who excavated the tomb and 11 other tombs nearby that belonged to the same period, in Shaling village near Datong, in North China's Shanxi province, in 2005.
