They all come from a sunken ship from the Tang Dynasty.

About 1,200 years ago, an ancient Arab cargo ship loaded with items from the Tang Dynasty set sail from Yangzhou, China, and resupplied in Guangzhou. Unfortunately, it hit a black reef and sank near Sumatra Island. The shipwreck was discovered and salvaged from the seabed near Belitung Island, Indonesia in 1998. Experts affectionately named the ship "Black Stone" after the cause of the accident. 📷📷📷📷 The German salvage team, the Indonesian government, China, and the Singaporean government all battled for ownership of these cultural relics. In the end, the German side received some cultural relics, and a small portion went to the Hunan Museum in Changsha, the National Marine Museum in Tianjin, the Macau Museum, and the National Museum of Indonesia in Jakarta. Most of the relics, including the best quality ones, are in the Asian Civilizations Museum in Singapore. 🌊🌊🌊🌊 The Black Stone shipwreck is about 18 meters long and 6.4 meters wide. It is a very rare shipwreck from the same period. More than 60,000 cultural relics were salvaged, including various ceramics from Changsha Kiln, Yue Kiln, Xing Kiln, and Gong County Kiln, as well as various gold and silverware and bronze mirrors. Each cultural relic is a precious historical testament that has been sealed for a thousand years. It is really worth a visit. If you only visit one museum in Singapore, I would definitely recommend the Asian Civilizations Museum.
