Bricks from Tomb Doorways

The brick boasts an intricately stamped design featuring geometric patterns and standing figures that are captioned as high-ranking officials tasked with securing the tomb entrances. Originally part of a grave's doorway, it dates back to the Han dynasty (206 BC- AD 220), a time when burial sites were designed to replicate the architectural features of homes, such as pillars, beams, doorways, and tile edges. Crafted from four flat slabs of baked clay, this brick features openings at both ends, bearing visible imprints of interior reinforcement and fingerprints that have withstood the test of time.
