Seize 2 cultural relics from the Qing Dynasty

Recently, Friendship Customs seized two general cultural relics that are prohibited from export through cross-border e-commerce transfer channels.

On that day, during the inspection of a batch of cross-border e-commerce export goods declared as "craft ornaments (made of ceramics)" that were transferred from Guangdong to the port of Friendship Customs, customs officers found that the actual items were two animal shaped stone carvings, which were old and had soil, suspected to be cultural relics. According to the appraisal of the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region Museum, the two animal shaped stone carvings are named Qingshi Lions, which are general cultural relics of the Qing Dynasty and are prohibited from export.
