Archaeologists have recently found precious frescos after
unearthing two ancient tombs in Ih Ju league, southwestern part of
north China's Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region.
The frescos, completed during the Han Dynasty (BC 206-AC 220), are
located at Uxin banner of Ih Ju league. The tomb owners were
supposed to be junior officials at that time.
Even though the tombs have been robbed, there still remain
exquisite frescos with high artistic drawings on the walls.
Experts have found the mural pictures to be vivid portraits of
horses, cattle, sheep and dancers, which are quite rare and helpful
for related research.
