Ancient Pots Unearthed in HK to Be Exhibited

Hong Kong people will have the opportunity to see for themselves the four glazed pots, which were discovered in Mongkok Friday, at the Lobby of Hong Kong Museum of History, a spokesman for the Hong Kong Antiquities and Monuments Office said Saturday.

The exhibition will start from Sunday to May 31, and no admission fee is required.

The four flat-bottomed pots were unearthed from a drainage improvement work site at the junction of Tung Choi Street and Soy Street in Mongkok.

"The four ancient pots found are in a complete condition. A preliminary examination suggests that they were burial artifacts of Jin Dynasty (265 - 420)," the spokesman said.

"It is rare that ancient artifacts of such good conditions were unearthed in an urban area in Hong Kong," said the spokesman.
