Chinese archaeologists have found a 1,000-year-old steel case in Nanjing, capital of east China's Jiangsu Province. After more than one hundred days of investigation, archaeologists say they are ready to unwrap the decorative pagoda top -- known as a finial -- which was inside the case. Mysterious Buddhist relics are believed to be hidden inside the pagoda top.

When the steel case was discovered in early August in Nanjing, a pagoda finial wrapped in silk emerged, after archaeologists removed two steel panels of the cube-shaped case, which is 1.34 meters high and weighs 409 kilograms.
