Several jade pendants were discovered on Nov 18 near the main coffin in the central mausoleum of "Haihunhou" tomb. One of the jade items, around 10 cm long and 7 cm wide, is in a heart-shape decorated with dragon and phoenix patterns. The jade, which is of fine quality, despite being buried for over 2,000 years, still looks elegant.
