About this work
Shortly before the Han period (206 BC-AD 220), the idea developed that the hereafter was a reflection of life on earth. People therefore needed the same things in the period immediately after their death as they had used in life. So miniature worlds were created for tombs, with objects relevant to the deceased, such as this grain jar.
