BEIJING, June 14 (Xinhuanet) -- A batch of new relics from the ancient sunken ship Nan'ao 1 is open to the media. They are among the nearly five thousand antiques found underwater. Not only broken pieces are on display but well-preserved ones are also being shown.
This is the biggest blue and white porcelain piece found so far. Another surprise is a pottery jar, though it's broken. Melting in the silt, experts have found some brown grains in the pot which might've been highly sought after seeds.
Other rare findings include a porcelain box for women's make-up. At present, the salvage of the relics is still on going. It's hoped to be finished by early July.
