Photo taken on Nov. 16, 2013 shows a pottery figurine excavated from the tomb of Yang Guang, or Emperor Yang of Sui, the second and last monarch of the short-lived Sui Dynasty (581-618), in Yangzhou, east China's Jiangsu Province. The tombs which were unearthed at a construction site in Yangzhou earlier this year have been confirmed to be the final resting place of Emperor Yang of Sui, known for his tyrannous reign about 1,500 years ago, and Empress Xiao.
