The artwork conisted of inlay of precious stones, such as ochre, amber, jade, onyx, lapis and more. The marble was also carved into decorative patterns. The whole tomb is the definition of symmetry. If you witness a flower on one corner of the tomb, you would witness the same flower on its opposite corner. The only flaw piece not symmetrical was the Emperor's grave, which was set after completion of the tomb and left that way to honor his wife.
