  1,000-year-old ‘wonder’ bra

  
  

  Archeologists have dug up a 1,000-year-old padded bra in China.

  
  

  The gold-coloured bra was found in an ancient tomb being excavated in Inner Mongolia’s Aohan region.

  
  

  Archeologist Shao Guotian said the bra belonged to a wealthy woman from China’s Liao dynasty period.

  
  

  He told local newspapers the bra was made of fine silk with shoulder straps and back strings.

  
  

  “It’s just like brassieres of today,” he said. “It’s a pity most of the cotton padding in the cups has already decayed.”
