We found that the coins decorating the surface of the bronze halberd were Wu Zhu Chinese coins and that the bronze spearhead was long and narrow by X-ray based on non-destructive investigations. Also, Wu Zhu Chinese coins and bronze spearhead are consists of leaded bronze and were produced by casting.The lacquer layer of the surface of four lacquerware was composed of common lacquer ingredients and applied directly to the wood without a base lacquer layer.
