Due to their abilities to ward off evil, they have become guardian angels of the Buddhist temples. They line the halls standing guard along with 500 or more lesser Lohan. White porcelain Blanc-de-chine (from the Dehua kiln noted for monochrome white porcelain figures). Circa mid- to late- 1900s. Very good condition.
