A dazzling array of exquisite jewelry from the Ming and Qing dynasties at Dingzhou Museum

The Dingzhou Museum in Hebei is definitely a treasure museum. Not only a large number of tombs of Han Dynasty kings and princes have been unearthed here, but also a large number of craftsmanship and exquisite jewelry from the Ming and Qing dynasties. These jewels are exquisitely crafted, well-made, and made of the most luxurious materials, giving you a sense of overwhelming wealth. The lighting configuration of the museum's exhibition hall is very scientific, perfectly presenting the shapes of these gorgeous jewels. [Kiss] The most eye-catching item in the exhibition hall is the phoenix crown of the imperial concubine. This phoenix crown is made of gilded copper and uses the filigree and kingfisher feather technique. It is 39 cm high and 21 cm wide. The kingfisher feather inlay technique is a technique that adds color and texture by inlaying kingfisher feathers on a metal base. Although most of the green feathers have fallen off, the phoenix crown still looks exquisite and luxurious. The phoenix crown is divided into three layers. The bottom circle is decorated with nine phoenixes holding tassels in their mouths, and the phoenixes are inlaid with rubies. The phoenix is ​​decorated with twin dragons and immortal figures, with the word "Imperial Edict" engraved in the middle of the crown, and above it is a plaque with the words "Fengtian Gaoming".
