Necklace of crystal beads worn by a Sogdian woman when she died in 755 at the age of 60. She had a tomb for herself in Xi'an. Her family name, Mi, suggests that her ancestors came to China from Panjakent, Tajikistan. Her epitaph in Chinese indicates she married a Chinese general.

Recent Magnificent discovery #SilkRoad @Mongolia

[Jin Xu 徐津 @xujnx]

Silver decorative items from a Xiongnu aristocratic tomb at the site Gol Mod II, 350 km west of Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia. Excavated jointly by Mongolian & Chinese archaeologists, the tomb is the only one whose sumptuous contents have not been disturbed by robbers or natural forces.

Fascinating photos of Hui Muslim women in rural China by Lili Almog, from "Crossing Lines, Constructing Home: Displacement and Belonging in Contemporary Art," an upcoming show at the Harvard Art Museums. In Chinese cities, many Muslim women also wear hijab or turban in public.

The grave of Martin Luther King and the reflecting pool surrounding it. Visited the serene, beautiful site ten years ago. Today we have so much to learn from this great American figure.

On this 6th-c sarcophagus of a Sogdian couple in China, dogs are represented at both the beginning and end of the deceased’s life: 🐶lies in front of the steps of a house where the husband is born; 🐶🐶see off the souls of the couple crossing the bridge between earth and heaven.

[Jin Xu 徐津 @xujnx]

A Tang-dyn tomb was found yesterday in a densely populated residential neighborhood (Taiyuan, North China), which accidentally saved it from being robbed. The departed lady or her attendant is portrayed alongside legendary virtuous sages supposed to be images on a paneled screen.
