Hubei Provincial Museum

In 1978 archaeologists excavated the tomb of Marquis Yi of Zeng at Leigudun in present-day Suizhou. An exceptional set of bronze bells stood among the musical instruments. Zeng was a state closely connected with its powerful neighbour Chu, and the find opened a window onto that particular court. Today the bell frame anchors an exhibition at Hubei Provincial Museum in Wuhan, carrying the name of its owner into a very different city.
