The Chinese art collection spans 6,000 years, and includes items such as Neolithic-period clay vessels, Shang dynasty bronze vessels, Han dynasty Mingqi statuettes, Tang dynasty tomb figures including two Bactrian camels, and Qing dynasty vases, bowls, and scrolls.
Rowe Collection
The exhibit contains selected objects from the Rowe Collection of Chinese artifacts, one of the six collections of art at Longwood University. Dr. and Mrs. Henry C. Rowe (Bernice Beazley, LU ’70) of Gloucester, Virginia, have given these objects from their personal collection to enhance the academic experience for Longwood students and the surrounding community.
