The Suzhou Museum has a new "Splits Figurine"?

I went to the Suzhou Museum West Branch to see the last special exhibition of the year, "Life and Faith: The Art of the Han Dynasty." The title is a bit grand, but the content is quite empty. The exhibits are mainly "sponsored" by two museums: the Guangzhou Institute of Cultural Relics and Archaeology and the Xuzhou Museum. There are very few exhibits from other museums. The highlight of the exhibition is the "Gilt Bronze Boshan Censer," one of the three treasures of the Hebei Museum. A censer in a hall, with few exhibits and a large space, is quite extravagant. However, this exhibition features many Western Han and Eastern Han pottery buildings that are rarely seen in other museums, and several of them are considered "luxury homes." There are only one or two Han Dynasty pictorial bricks, and the "Peaceful Life" pictorial brick is a replica. The Han Dynasty figurines are not very impressive, perhaps because I saw too many wonderful ones at the Xuzhou Museum a few weeks ago. However, the "Splits Figurine" (Western Han painted cavalry figurine) from the Yangling Museum of Emperor Jing of Han is a highlight. 👀Must-see exhibits: 1️⃣Western Han Gilt Bronze Boshan Censer: The most luxurious Boshan censer in history, on display until January 12 (Figures 8-11) 2️⃣Western Han Five-story Painted Pottery Granary: Eastern Han luxury home (Figures 12-13) 3️⃣Western Han Four-linked Ding of Princess Guantao, daughter of Emperor Wen of Han (Figure 15) 4️⃣Western Han Yangshuo Four-year Bronze Bell: One of the standard instruments for studying Western Han measurement (Figure 16) 5️⃣Western Han Yangjiawan Terracotta Warriors (Figures 5-6) 6️⃣Western Han Yangling Pottery Figurines (Figures 2-4) 7️⃣Eastern Han Bronze Money Tree (Figure 17) 8️⃣Eastern Han Pottery Storyteller Figurine (Figure 7) In short, it's not a special exhibition worth going out of your way to see, but if you're already at the Suzhou Museum West Branch, you can check it out.
