Emperor Wanli's Gem-set Gold Belt Decoration
Publicité
A belt decoration from Emperor Wanli's tomb, with a base made of gold, inlaid with pomegranate seed-like rubies and cat's eye stones. Wanli seems to have a particular fondness for cat's eye, as it appears on many of the accompanying burial artifacts. It is verified that the cat's eye stones were imported from Sri Lanka.
