Museum of the Western Han Dynasty Mausoleum of the Nanyue King
Guangzhou, China
The first concubine had two sets of jade jewelry that she used to wear in front of her chest. Here is the first set. It consists of 20 components in 3 materials: jade, gold, and glass. The formation is very complicated. From the top to the bottom: a Double Dragon Pei, two jade rings, a whirlpool-veined disc with triple phoenix pattern, a glass bead, ten gold beads, five jade Huang. No other set of jewelry in the tomb is more elegant than this one, except that of the Nanyue King.
