* To celebrate its 20th anniversary, the A rt Gallery staged an exhibition o f jades from the tomb o f the King Nanyue from 6th December 1991 to 16th February 1992. The exhibition was join tly presented by the A rt Gallery, the Museum of the Western Han Tomb of the Nanyue King, and the Kau Chi Society o f Chinese Art. Exhibits included about 100 pieces o f jades ex­ cavated from the tomb o f the Nanyue King, including the famous jade shroud, seals, sword fittings, discs, ornaments and vessels. The exquisite workmanship of the jades reveals the excellent quality and the regional style of jade carving in the Nanyue Kingdom in the early Western Han period.
