Archaeologists in northern China have unearthed a small but richly decorated 1200-year-old tomb on a mountain outside Taiyuan.A tombstone epitaph states its owner died at home in the 24th year of Kaiyuan at the age of 63.The archaeologists found an exceptionally well-preserved, brightly colored single-chamber brick structure.

Others show him chopping wood, pointing to a tree while holding a cup, and one scene – without people – of a plant with withered flowers. Chinese archaeologists say the strong outlines, simple shading and efficient two-dimensional designs make the tomb’s artwork distinct from other works from the same era.
