Original Description:
The powerful and wealthy of Ancient China had their tombs furnished with very fine objects made from the very best materials. They brought objects with them that they would use in the next life. They had large sets of ritual vessels in their tombs so they could continue to make offerings to their ancestors. They often had weapons buried with them to show their power and they could also be used in the afterlife.
Jade had a very important role in ancient Chinese burials. Jade objects were placed on top of and around the body. The ancient Chinese came to believe that jade had the power to protect their bodies.
Help the person below find the right combination of objects for their tomb.
