Sachet with patterns of grape flowers and birds Tang Dynasty Shaanxi History Museum

This delicately created sachet is composed of two parts, the outer one is made of silver, engraved with grape flower and birds patterns, and the inner part, a tiny container for herbs, is made of gold. Between these two layers there is a concentric ring machine that keeps the golden container from getting up-side down, so that it can be hung on the waistband of the traditional clothes of Tang dynasty(618-907), becoming a jewelry for fragrance.
