Move over, Avatar—the real ‘Pandora treasures’ might just be a pair of 300-year-old ivory-carved radish and cabbage sculptures! 🌱 During May Day holidays, the Henan Museum in central China drew crowds eager to snap photos of these shockingly lifelike artifacts, ranked among its top 10 treasures.
Visitors rushed in with cameras 📸 the moment doors opened, proving that even vegetables can go viral if they’re carved with Qing dynasty-level craftsmanship. The sculptures, preserved flawlessly for centuries, have leaves so delicate they look freshly picked. 🎨 “How did they stay this crisp?” one TikTok user commented. Hint: It’s not refrigeration.
Henan—home to 130,000 relics—is China’s answer to a historical theme park. But these veggies aren’t just eye candy. Experts say their hyper-realistic style reflects ancient artisans’ obsession with nature’s beauty. 🖌️ Who needs Instagram filters when you’ve got ivory mastery?
