Researchers (...) will spend three months making a loom for an extremely complicated Shu brocade known for its fine patterns. (...) Altogether, the silk has to be threaded over 100,000 times. (...)

The reproduction is based on four models from the Han Dynasty found in the Laoguanshan Han Tomb in Chengdu in 2012.
