The exhibition, which includes 145 pieces, is on show at the National Museum, and features items such as jewellery, golden tableware and flower baskets and vases. Many of the objects have markings which show they contain a pure gold content of between 80% and 90%, and that they were made or finished in 1601.

The items come from the Dong Bo Zhai collection of the Qujiang Museum of Fine Arts in Xi'an, and in return the National Museum will set up next year in China an exhibition of porcelain and prehistoric ceramics.
