This striking pair of clay sculptures is a faithful reproduction inspired by Tang Dynasty funerary art, dating from the 1980s. Each figure features a fantastical mystical beast with expressive facial details, prominent ears, and powerful limbs. Mounted atop each creature is a cylindrical vessel capped with a rooster finial—an auspicious symbol in Chinese culture, often associated with vigilance and protection.
These figures reflect the Tang aesthetic with their stylized anatomy and symbolic motifs, commonly seen in tomb guardians meant to protect the deceased in the afterlife. Ideal for collectors of Asian art, historical replicas, or unique interior decor.
