Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The silk banner depicts dragons, immortal beings, and possibly the Marquise herself, which are all associated with the heavenly, human and underworld realms. The banner is thought to represent cosmological concepts and beliefs of the time, rather than depicting the specific story of her execution or history of the Han dynasty. While it is possible that the ancestry of the Marquise is included in the banner, it is not the primary focus or purpose of the artwork.
