The State Bureau of Cultural Relics recently contributed more than 10,000 pieces of culture relics confiscated by Beijing Customs to the Prince Gong Mansion Museum.

The lots, ranging from porcelain to furniture, coins, bronze ware, Buddhist sculptures, ink paintings and calligraphy, had been accumulated since the 1980s.

A majority of the pieces are classified as first-class and second-class by the bureau, experts say. Among them is a precious Qing Dynasty rosewood dressing case once used by aristocrat women.
