Question

Imagine that you are going to uncover items from Fu Hao’s tomb to put on display in a museum in your hometown. Pick any two items for your exhibit and give your exhibit a title. In one to three sentences, explain why you chose that title. Then write two to four sentences about each item you selected and why you chose it.

Answer 1

Answer:

Fu Hao's tomb has yielded over a hundred weapons. This is very unusual for a woman's tomb, and shows her status as a military leader. In all there were around 2000 items buried with Fu Hao. Among these there are 468 bronzes, 750 jades, 560 of bone and over 110 of stone and semi-precious stone. Over six thousand cowrie shells were buried with her also - these would have served as currency in the Shang period.
