The pottery jar was discovered in 1998 and the ornamental box found in 2012, however it was until more recently that they received national treasure status in December 2018 under a decision by Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc, along with 20 other artifacts.

At the ceremony, the province opened a thematic exhibition on “From Thang Long to Yen Tu – the journey from King to Buddha”.

On the occasion, the Quang Ninh Museum also showcased 100 photos, documents, and other items highlighting the relic sites uncovered through digs at Thang Long Imperial Citadel, along with the relic systems related to the Tran Dynasty (1225-1400) and Truc Lam Yen Tu sect in Quang Ninh.

The exhibition aims to introduce historical and cultural values in the Tran Dynasty, as well as the thoughts of King-Monk Tran Nhan Tong, who founded the Truc Lam Yen Tu sect.

The display will be open until May 30.
