Yellow-glazed Pottery Building

Unearthed in the Laohudun Eastern-Han Brick Tomb of Ganquan town, Hanjiang district of Yangzhou city in 1984, this burial pottery building is an epitome of Eastern-Han architectures, serving as a physical evidence for the study on the form, structure and style of buildings in that historical period. With two stories, this building has an opening of two doors on the ground floor, each door attached with a beast head biting a ring. Its second floor, with a five-spine roof, has two separate windows on the front side, the exterior wall between is embellished with a ring-biting beast head. Flying eaves built with half-circle tiles are placed between the two stories. The building is covered with yellow glaze except the areas of windows, doors and eaves where are adorned with green glaze.
