The T-shaped painting on silk unearthed from Mawangdui (replica) was a banner used to summon and guide the soul during the funeral and then buried with the deceased. From top to bottom, the painting is divided into three sections: the heavenly world, the human world and the underworld. This painting conveys a desire for resurrection, with the Marquise of Dai continuing to live after her funeral in her eternal home in the earth.   Close
