Henan Provincial Museum: Han Dynasty to Present
This museum in Zhengzhou was built around the artifacts from the tomb of a king of Zheng discovered in 1923 in Xinzheng. The tomb, dated to c. 575 BC, contained the famous crane and lotus urn, probably the most exquisite bronze found anywhere in the world (see Henan Provincial Museum: Beginnings to Han Dynasty). This post concerns artifacts from the Han Dynasty to the present. Photos by Gary L. Todd, Ph.D., Professor of History, Sias International University, Xinzheng, Henan, China.
