[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 10057147, member: 2844"]These were valued, not dumped. The ones found in gravesites usually served to bury ancestral bones and/or ashes in them, as a sign of respect. Martabans were thought to be magic, especially the dragon ones. But if you were to dump a Martaban, you would have to apply a lot of force to break it.;) That one is a twin of mine, except mine doesn't have the stain on the side where the glaze didn't hold. And of course it doesn't have that crazy wooden construction. I don't know what that construction is for, but it looks fairly recent. Maybe someone turned it into a lamp?[/QUOTE]
