The Tomb of Ān Jiā, also sometimes read Ān Qié (Chinese: 安伽墓石門暨圍屏石榻; lit. 'Stone tomb gate and couch of An Jia'), is a Northern Zhou period (557–581 CE) funeral monument to a Sogdian nobleman named "An Jia" in the Chinese epitaph.[1] The tomb was excavated in the city of Xi'an. It is now located in the collections of the Shaanxi Provincial Institute of Archaeology.[2] An Jia (安伽) died in the founding year of the Daxiang (大象) era (579 CE), during the reign of Emperor Jing.[3]
