Tube (cong 琮), Anyang period, probably late Shang dynasty, c. 1300–1050 B.C.E., jade (nephrite), China, probably Henan province, Anyang, 16.6 high × 7.1 × 7.1 cm.

A Sui Dynasty (581-618) tomb with a white marble coffin bed was recently discovered in Anyang, Central China's Henan province, which is of great significance to the research of ethnic and religious integration, experts said.

An epigraph unearthed from the tomb records the life experience of the tomb owners, a couple with the name Qu Qing, who never appeared in any historical files before.

The epigraph provides new evidence for character evolution and the art of calligraphy during the Sui Dynasty, according to the Anyang Institute of Cultural Relics and Archaeology, adding that it also has great value as complementing the institute's history section.
