Bronze Bucket with Boat Painting

Nine bronze buckets are found in the tomb. On the bucket, there are four sets of boat painting, which depict the triumphant return of a fleet. A deck is prominently drawn and the ship is divided into cabins. One of the cabins is filled with bronze drums. On the ship, there are drawings of turtles, fishes and seabirds. Warriors wearing feathered adornments are holding the heads of the captives and guard tightly the rest of them. These paintings are the most complete draft of a ship among archaeological findings. They also point out the fact that fishing and hunting are important to the economy of the ancient Yue people.
