Mural guide
In a riverside camp, a celadon soul jar crowned with pavilions and figures stands at the centre, with two bronze crossbow triggers and a long-bladed glaive before it, bundled wooden slips beside it and a tattered war banner streaming above, as sailing boats pass on the river. Weapons and the soul jar evoke the warring years of the Three Kingdoms and the life of the south.
