Highlights include bronze vessels that reflect the early state ritual systems of the Xia Dynasty (c. 21st century-16th century BC), jade pieces and inscribed bronzes that embody the theocratic beliefs and patriarchal-ritual systems of the Shang (c. 16th century-11th century BC) and Zhou (c. 11th century BC-256 BC) dynasties, as well as Warring States Period (475-221 BC) weapons and official seals from the Qin (221-206 BC) to Han (206 BC-AD 220) dynasties that mark the rise of centralized imperial rule.
