Cover: Jade and gold garments as sarcophagi of Prince Liu Sheng and his wife Tou Wan from China's resplendent Han Dynasty. Because of its greater simplicity, the one at left (on cover) is presumed to be the princess'. They are among 2800 objects unearthed in a royal rock-cut tomb in Hopei Province in 1968 9see article on page 30). Photo by Marc Riboud (Magnum) whose pictures of China are on show at the Metropoltan Museum this month.
