    A pair of gold phoenix hairpins made by the process of filigree, unearthed from the tomb of the Seignior Yiduan and his wives, attracted the most eyes. Ms. Tao, an employee on site, introduced that: “except the phoenix head, the whole hairpin is made by the process of filigree. Some feathers are even as thin as hair. It looks so dainty and exquisite.” Beyond jade and gold wares, some cloths, figurines of honor guard, pottery furniture and porcelains from the same site were also exhibited.
