      The dealer’s stated provenance for these pieces was Shan-hsien, Honan Province, an area that, in spite of its many tumuli, never was known for its subterranean treasures. The recent excavation of almost identical pieces in the neighboring Ling-pao County clearly confirms the information supplied by the dealer.
