Description
Luohan are disciples of Buddha with supernatural powers and eccentric behaviors. One luohan is holding the peach of longevity (shoutao),the other is holding the fu-dog, symbolizing good luck. With carefree smiles and playful gestures, these two figures embody a humorous attitude and a detachment from worldly affairs. This pair of porcelain figures was perhaps part of a house altar set or a decorative item in a household.
