Discovery of the silk painting -- though fragmentary -- was one of great significance because it was the first one ever found to depict horses, which were close friends of the nomadic Khitans, and gave hints on the life of the nomadic clan, he added.

Reminds me of an earlier discussion of the role of horses in Scythian and Celtic culture--hmmm. . .

Might have been Joan River's first bra.

1,000 year old bra? Are they sure Helen Thomas wasn't in there ahead of them?

It's a pity most of the cotton padding in the cups already decayed.

Not just any bra, but falsies !!

It is an ancient torture device.

They would put it on the head of captured enemy soldiers and draw pictures of them.

HOHHOT, June 7 (Xinhuanet) -- Chinese archeologists have announced their recent discovery of a fragmented silk painting and a brassiere in tombs at least 1,000 years old.

Anyone else think it's entirely fitting that a 1000 year old silk brassiere would be found in HOHHOT?

In the same tomb, archeological workers also found a cotton padded brassiere that was golden in color, daintily designed and was very similar in style and in function to those worn by modern women.


Feh. Real women wear copper.

Guess the Chinese had a one up on the French with their inventiveness.
