ANCIENT MURALS RESTORED IN LABOR OF LOVE

Delicate work requires keen eye for detail

Cloud and mist shroud the magnificent ancient buildings of an imperial palace, with incense permeating the corridors before wafting beyond the city walls.

This magnificently detailed scene forms part of a mural discovered at the Tomb of Prince Yide, the grandson of Emperor Li Zhi and Empress Wu Zetian during the Tang Dynasty (618-907).

The tomb, located in Xianyang, Shaanxi province, is more than 85 kilometers from downtown Xi'an, the provincial capital.
