Description
English: Funeral banner, painting on silk, from the tomb #1 of Mawangdui, Western Han period. Hunan Provincial Museum, Changsha, China. 2.05 x 0.92 m. This 6¾ foot long Western Han painting on silk was found draped over the coffin in the grave of Lady Dai (c. 168 BC) at Mawangdui near Changsha in Hunan province, China. The scenes depicted on it seem to illustrate the journey of the woman's soul. The top section shows the heavenly realm, complete with dragons, leopards, and hybrid creatures. At the corners are the crow that symbolizes the sun and the toad that symbolizes the moon, the pairing of the sun and moon representing the cosmic forces of yin and yang.
