This is a yellow-brown glazed pottery tower with auspicious beast and feathered figure decorations from the Three Kingdoms period, excavated from Caiyue Tomb in Fancheng District, Xiangyang in 2008. It is now a museum collection. Designed as a multi-story traditional Chinese pavilion, it has auspicious beast decorations on the roof corners and a stupa spire on the top with exquisite craftsmanship. It is key evidence proving the evolution of Chinese ancient pagodas from Indian stupas to pavilion-style Buddhist pagodas, and has high research value for Three Kingdoms architecture and Buddhist culture spread, known as the oldest ancient pagoda in China.
