In the past, many ancient tombs throughout China were raided or looted for their artifacts and sold to Chinese scholars, foreign collectors and museums. Art historians have come to admire the great beauty and exquisite workmanship of these tomb artifacts, which offer unrivalled material for the study of daily life and ancient technologies, while revealing the different classes of people found in China and how each prepared for the afterlife. The items come from the Art Gallery of Greater Victoria’s extensive Chinese archaeological collections and will be enhanced by a large intended gift of early gold, silver and bronze treasures from Joey and Toby Tanenbaum of Toronto.
