Local authorities said on Wednesday that a brick bed dating back to the Tang Dynasty (618-907) has been discovered in Linxi County, north China's Hebei Province.
Experts said the bed, which dates back to the mid-Tang Dynasty, was a rectangle-shaped bed with a length of 2.8 meters, width of 0.5 meters and height of 0.45 meters. It was made of 128 bricks and had delicate patterns carved into it.
"The unearthed bed can be matched up with furniture images on Tang Dynasty paintings and frescoes, which is important for the research into the furniture during this period," said Zhang Xia, director of the cultural relics preservation bureau.
