Chen Han looked at the protruding front in front of him, and the center was a combination of the sun, the moon and the treasure flower, and said uncertainly: "This, it should be a plaque, right?" ”

The so-called brand jewelry is not the name of a certain kind of jewelry.

In fact, this designation is not found in historical documents.

It is a general term for decorative plaques with a certain thickness in the field of modern archaeology.

To put it simply, it looks like a card, and it should be used to hang on the body or as an ornament on the horse, and it can be called a card.

"But it looks like a piece of forehead?" Zhuang Yunpeng scratched his head and said in disagreement.

This piece of gold is about the size of a palm, and it is in the shape of a sheet, with both sides adducted inwards and a convex middle, which feels just right for wearing on the forehead.

"Wipe your forehead?"

Chen Han touched his chin, not sure: "Although the forehead wiping was indeed created by the northern ethnic minorities at the earliest, the birth of the forehead wiping was to keep out the cold. ”

Moreover, most of the forehead wipes in the Tang Dynasty were worn by men, and the "New Tang Dynasty Book: The Biography of Lou Shide" recorded, "Lou Shide is self-motivated, and he wears red to wipe his forehead to respond to the edict." ”

"The murals of the Tang tomb show that although there were women wearing foreheads at that time, they were mainly maids or musicians dressed as men."

"The most important point is that the forehead wipe is made of cloth, which is a kind of first garment that folds or cuts the cloth into strips around the forehead."

"In TV dramas, there are indeed many costume dramas where the heroine will be decorated with a piece of gold in front of her forehead, or tie a tassel or something like that."

But this is actually an evolution from "Huasheng", not the reality. ”

Huasheng is a kind of ancient women's jewelry, which was often inserted into the bun or embellished on the forehead by ancient women, and was not so large that it covered the entire forehead.

Don't blame Zhuang Yunpeng for misunderstanding.

This plaque looks really super suitable for wearing on the forehead.

It's like the ornaments on the forehead worn by the heroines in modern costume TV dramas.

It's easy to relate.

It's just that, in Chen Han's opinion, there should be no such thing in the Tang Dynasty.

Women in the Tang Dynasty generally wore flowers and flowers on their foreheads.

Hua Huang, that is, the flower yellow in the sentence "mirror applique yellow" in Mulan's words, is painted with yellow pastel or cut into the shape of stars, moons, flowers and birds with golden yellow paper and pasted on the forehead, or painted with yellow on the forehead.

Hua Tian is a kind of jewelry made of gold and silver in the shape of a flower and covered in the hair, which was more popular in the Tang Dynasty.

In addition to the common plum blossom shape, there are also various kinds of birds, small fish, ducklings, etc., which are very beautiful and novel.

There are many kinds of materials for cutting flowers, such as gold leaf, paper, fish cheekbones, anchovies, and camellia oil cakes.

After cutting, paste it in the middle of the forehead with fish maw glue or glue.

On various murals of the Tang Dynasty, you can see maids with appliqués on their foreheads, and in many more elaborate Tang Dynasty-themed movies, a large number of Huadian will also appear.

This kind of behavior of directly making a palm-sized gold object and tying it to the forehead with something like a rope is really only seen in modern TV dramas.

There was no such thing in the Tang Dynasty.

At most, Huasheng is tied to his hair, and it will hang down to his forehead.

"This should be a plaque to hang around your waist as an ornament."

After explaining to Zhuang Yunpeng, Chen Han picked up the plaque and looked at it carefully.

This plaque is indeed a big treasure.

It's beautifully made!

The whole plaque is composed of two lions on the left and right, and the sun, moon and treasure flower in the center.

The sun and moon pattern is made of turquoise filled in the fine golden millet frame, and the treasure phase flower is made up of the oval amethyst in the center and the turquoise around the periphery, and the branches that stretch out upwards are inlaid with turquoise, and the fine golden millet border is surrounded by the outer thin golden millet frame.

The two lions are facing each other, both of them raise their heads and open their mouths to divide the sun and the moon, their manes are angry, the front legs are on the treasure flower, the hind legs are bent up, the turquoise is inlaid, the four hooves are thick, very exaggerated, and the tail is curled in a ring.

The lion body is inlaid with an amethyst, which is very beautiful and dazzling!

The most important thing is that after careful inspection, Chen Han soon found a ring-shaped perforation on the back of this plaque for lacing.

"Look, this piercing is obviously used to tie the tie and then tie it around the waist."

Chen Han pointed to this perforation and showed it to Zhuang Yunpeng.

After seeing this piercing, Zhuang Yunpeng was finally sure that this was indeed a plaque used as a decoration.

"Come and see, I've found a remnant of a turquoise-encrusted gold cladding!"

Lin Ya's voice sounded from the side of the wooden coffin bed.

Chen Han and Zhuang Yunpeng, who were admiring this exquisite plaque, had to temporarily save this plaque and walk towards Lin Yana.

I saw that Lin Ya was holding a covered fragment in both hands, smiling at them.

The only remaining parts of her face were her nose and mouth.

The remaining parts are first cast into a nose shape and a mouth-shaped frame with gold sheets, separated into different spaces by gold wires according to their shapes, and then inlaid in the spaces with square, round or irregularly shaped turquoise to form a complete nose and mouth shape.

Anyway, it looks like a geoduck, or it looks a lot like the face of Squidward in "SpongeBob SquarePants".

In short, it's exactly the same as **.

If Lin Ya hadn't mentioned that this was a gold-covered fragment, Chen Han's first thought was that it was an artifact used to cover private parts.

There is no way, who called this gold covering, but coincidentally, only the nose and mouth are still well preserved, and the other eyes and forehead parts are missing.

"In addition to this gold-covered fragment, I also found two golden apricot leaves next to it."

"The golden apricot leaves on both sides are pure gold, with many twisted branches and leaves on the edges, and the petal patterns are hammered out on the leaves."

"And there is also leather pasted on the north side of the leaf, I think these two golden apricot leaves should also be part of the gold covering, which should have been used to cover the eyes of the tomb owner in the north side of the room."

"I guess that the burial in the north 2 side room may be the concubine room of the tomb owner."

"Since the bones of the tomb owner's husband and wife were found in the main tomb, they should be buried together in this tomb."

"And as the main wife, the queen of the owner of the tomb cannot be buried in the side chamber, but can only be buried in the main chamber with the owner of the tomb, perhaps in a different coffin, or in the same coffin."

"So since there is a wooden coffin bed in the north 2 side room, there should be a concubine room for burying a tomb owner."

"You two found hairpins and gold medals, which also shows that there is a high probability that a woman is buried in this side room."

Lin Ya talked to Chen Han and Zhuang Yunpeng for a while.

Her guess was very reasonable, and Chen Han kept nodding in agreement.

In the case of a joint burial of husband and wife, the wife is generally not buried in the side chamber and will only be buried with her husband in the main chamber.

As for whether it will be combined into one coffin or divided into two coffins, it depends on the specific situation.

Sometimes the coffin will be opened and the coffin will be buried, and sometimes one party will die first, and the other party will not open the coffin and bury together, but prepare another coffin next to it.

But it is absolutely impossible to run to the side room.

Under the monogamous system of the Chinese people, husband and wife are equal!

This has been determined since the beginning of the Zongzhou period!

No wife is allowed to be buried in the side room after her death!

Because she is also the owner of this family, how can she be biased towards the side room!

Only the concubine room is worthy of the side room!
