A Boshan censer and jade items, along with several bronze items, also were discovered on the site. A jade pendant among the unearthed items, decorated with dragon and phoenix patterns, amazed archeologists with its fine quality and elegant appearance; it is said to represent the highest level of jade craft in the Han Dynasty.

The tomb of "Haihunhou" dates back to the Western Han Dynasty (206 BC - 24 AD) in Jiangxi and is the best-preserved royal tomb of the era ever discovered in China. Archaeologists have so far unearthed more than 10,000 heritage pieces from the tomb since its discovery in 2011, including chariots, bronze cooking utensils, wine vessels, lamps and ancient coins.
