The tomb, found in a gymnasium construction site, has two chambers. The husband was buried in the north chamber, in which a light rack and some ancient coins were found. The wife's chamber is in the south of the tomb. Some precious items were unearthed, including a valuable jade pendant, a puff box, a bronze mirror 16 centimeters in diameter, dozens of ancient coins and an unidentified canakin.
