陕西省一座古墓内的墙壁上发现七副彩色壁画。

Located in a village of the Shuozhou city, the brick-chambered tomb was believed to date back to the Yuan Dynasty (1271-1368). Archaeologists are excavating³ the tomb and the delicate murals.

The well-preserved murals depicted⁴ different themes of the time, such as a desk for ritual activities, landscapes and women.

The clothes and hairstyles of the four painted women shed lights on the ancient fashion of northern Shanxi in the Yuan Dynasty.

Wang Xiaoyi, director of the institute, said the identity of the tomb owner is yet to be known. More information will be disclosed upon further investigation⁵.

"The new discoveries can provide valuable information for future studies on local burial customs and social life in Yuan dynasty," Wang said.
