hunping
A ''hunping'' (; literally "soul jar" or "soul vase") is a ceramic funerary vessel (funerary urn) often found in the tombs of the Han Dynasty and especially the Six Dynasties periods of China.〔 It was characteristic of the region south of the Yangtze River within the modern Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces.〔
The purpose of a ''hunping'' is somewhat enigmatic, but archaeologists suggest that they may have been used as containers for fruit accompanying the deceased into the afterlife. According to the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the ancients may have hoped that the soul of the deceased would eventually reside in the vessel.〔(Funerary urn (''hunping''), Western Jin dynasty (265–317), ca. 250–300. China. Earthenware with green glaze. (1992.165.21) ) (The Metropolitan Museum of Art)〕
Since the last decades of the Han Dynasty, the top of ''hunping'' vessels started to be decorated with miniature sculptures of men, animals, birds, etc. Gradually, sculptural compositions became more elaborate, including images of entire buildings.〔
It is due to an early-Jin Dynasty ''hunping'', dating to 272, that an early example of a tortoise-born stele is known to us.
