A villager who lives in Shangzhuang village in Shanxi Province discovered the tomb while laying the foundation for his new house in April this year. While digging the land, he saw several-year-old sculpture and without destroying or altering it he reported to the concerned agencies.
Later it was found that the tomb belongs to mid to late Jin Dynasty (1115-1234). The tomb is four meters tall and contains an octagonal burial chamber along with five small rooms at the chamber’s northern, northeastern, northwestern, southeastern and southwestern sides. While examining, the archaeologists found that the chamber has seven sides with 21 brick carvings, three on each side.
