"Co-authored by Chen Shen, Co-Chief Curator at the Royal Ontario Museum, and Chanfei Xu, Researcher at the Luoyang City Cultural Relics and Archaeology Research Institute, this bilingual volume presents the first-ever coloured photographs of the pictorial hollow-brick tomb tiles in the Royal Ontario Museum's Chinese collection. Impressions on Clay offers a rare glimpse into the artistry and technological advancements of the Western Han dynasty (206 BC – 8 AD). This beautifully illustrated catalogue features recent archaeological studies focusing on the 54 exquisite pictorial tomb tiles, dated back to 2000 years ago, likely excavated in present-day Luoyang, west of Henan province. These tomb tiles once formed the burial chambers used by Western Han elites, and their intricate designs offer insights into the socioeconomic status of the deceased, burial customs and rituals, and symbolic representations of the Western Han dynasty of China"
