Located in China's Shaanxi Province, Famen Temple received its present name in the first year of the Wude era of the Tang Dynasty (AD 618-907) and has retained it ever since. Revered for enshrining the true finger bone relic of Shakyamuni Buddha, the temple became a sacred site for countless Buddhist devotees. In 1987, during the excavation of Famen Temple's underground crypt, over 2,000 Tang imperial treasures and Buddhist ritual implements were unearthed, each exquisitely wrought and unparalleled in beauty. These treasures have lifted the veil on the glorious heyday of the Tang Dynasty for later generations while providing irreplaceable, tangible evidence for the study of Tang Dynasty religion, craftsmanship and court culture.
