Dreams of the Kings: A Jade Suit for Eternity

Dreams of the Kings: A Jade Suit for Eternity

Presented by The Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art at The Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art

Featured objects include exquisite vessels fashioned from solid jade, a full suit of iron armor, a spectacular solid gold belt buckle and a magnificent, 2,000-year-old, life-sized jade and gold burial suit that is the finest to have survived from ancient China. The objects were excavated from a group of monumental tombs of the Kings of Chu that were carved into rocky hillsides in an area midway between Beijing and Shanghai.
