With a blank stare and sunken cheeks, his expression is as enigmatic as his origins.
Discovered by a shepherd in a remote corner of China, this perfectly preserved mummy offers a tantalising glimpse into the past.
The corpse, believed to be a man of 40, was dressed in a blue and white robe and covered with a cotton quilt. His papery skin is virtually intact and his black hair is scraped back into a pony tail.
Some experts believe the man could have been lying under the salty soil for thousands of years.
