Secondhand book: generally 'Very Good' to 'Excellent'. These are books which may have some slight wear and tear or sun fading on the edges. There may be an inscription at the front.
This lavishly illustrated volume serves as an authoritative guide to the Shaanxi History Museum in Xi'an, China — one of the country's most prestigious national museums and home to over 370,000 artefacts spanning thousands of years of Chinese civilisation. Edited under the direction of Feng Gengwu, the work presents a sweeping survey of China's imperial heartland, chronicling cultural treasures from the Neolithic period through the Tang Dynasty, including bronzeware, gold and silver vessels, Tang tri-colour pottery, and ancient murals. The text argues that Shaanxi province, as the cradle of thirteen imperial dynasties, holds an unparalleled position in the story of Chinese history and culture. Richly detailed and meticulously curated, this volume stands as both a scholarly reference and a stunning visual record of China's archaeological heritage.
