Museum

Zhang Tianzhu, deputy captain of the 1st pit archaeological team, said that 3 boxes were found in the clearance of two chariots, which were rare materials in the excavation of the Qin terracotta pits.

Although these boxes are burned by fire, they are clear in shape, coated with fabric and then painted in layers.

After the embryo is rotten, it is thin as the cicada, should be the cortex; the fabric is dense and warlike, like silk; there are remnant red, blue and white cloud patterns on the lid.

The bottom of the machine is workmanship, surrounded by 45 degrees seams, and the seam is 3 millimeters.

A series of problems such as the naming, use and nature of the object need further study.

The wooden drum was cleaned up in 2 places. The knot fabric found in a copper ring of the drum 1 remains closely linked to the silk fabric. It is important for studying the history of silk fabrics such as the Qin and Han Dynasties.
