Lady Dai's corpse, in exceptional condition, reveals details about the nobility of the Han Dynasty. Lady Dai was a noble woman of the Eastern Han dynasty in China who lived approximately in the eleventh century BC.

Her body is in a special layer of liquid that has kept it almost intact for more than two thousand years. The care of the body was very present in their culture since they applied some embalming techniques where mercury was used. The mausoleum was found intact and contained more than a thousand artifacts, including gold and jade jewelry.
