Chinese craftsmen have replicated a 49-gram item of silk clothing dating back more than 2,000 years.
The ancient garment, unearthed in a Western Han Dynasty (202 BC-8 AD) tomb in central China's Hunan Province, is considered the world's lightest silk clothing.
A joint team from the Hunan Provincial Museum and Nanjing Yunjin Institute managed to create the duplicate with all the color details after working on it since 2017.
The team found a special variety of silkworm that can spin light silk, and designed weaving machines similar to ancient ones. The team also replicated two other items found in the Han tomb.
Chinese Chic babes.
