The tomb rubbings on display in this exhibition convey Confucian and Daoist values and include scenes of dancing, feasting, mythology and Confucian legends. These prints demonstrate the significance of tomb carvings in support of passage to the afterlife in Han Dynasty (206 BCE–220 CE) funerary shrines in China.
