Source Description
<em>Lohan </em>are disciples of Buddha with supernatural powers and eccentric behaviors. This lohan is holding the fu-dog, symbolizing good luck, while its mate is holding the peach of longevity (<em>shoutao</em>). 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.
