Rare amber with insects inside has been unearthed at Marquis Haihun's tomb dating back to the ancient China's Western Han Dynasty (206BC-24AD) in Nanchang in Jiangxi province. Archeologists also found remains of lacquer works in the tomb.
According to the archeologists, the size of the amber equals a grape. There are aligned shallow holes in two ends of the amber.
