The article interprets some iconographic motifs on reliefs in Eastern-Han (25-220) tombs in their contexts: Chao hun 招魂 “calling back the soul,” parting from the earthly existence and being escorted to the gate of the next world, the herald with the insignium chieh 節 , the depiction of the deceased at the half opened door on the threshold of the hereafter. Other motifs include the wish for longevity and immortality: Hsi-wang-mu, the Queen Mother of the West, and her immortal attendances, the immortal players of Liu-po, the cassia-tree and other symbols of the moon, the pattern sheng-erh 滕耳 (“Kettbaumscheiben-Muster“), which is similar to the shape of the discs at the sides of the headdress sheng 勝 of Hsi-wang-mu
