In 1957, four stunning phoenix crowns were unearthed from the underground palace of the Ming Dingling Mausoleum in Beijing, which belonged to Empress Xiaoduan of Ming Dynasty and Empress Xiaojing of Ming Dynasty. These are the only four remaining phoenix crowns in China, which belong to the cultural relics prohibited by the state to be exhibited abroad.

✨ The phoenix crowns of the Ming Dynasty were ceremonial hats for the empresses, who wore them only when accepting orders of enthronement, paying homage to the ancestral temples, worshipping ancestors, and attending court meetings.

🏯 The Nine Dragons and Nine Phoenixes Crown is now in the National Museum, the Three Dragons and Two Phoenixes Crown is in the Palace Museum, and the Six Dragons and Three Phoenixes Crown and the Twelve Dragons and Nine Phoenixes Crown are in the Thirteen Tomb Museum of the Ming Dynasty. This museum also hides a Wanli Emperor's gold silk winged good crown 😍

Ancient designers how so powerful, not only the most good handmade work, even the color matching are so nice 👍 than now the top high luxury brand is still exquisite
