A PAIR OF CARVED GRAY STONE ARCHITECTURAL FRAGMENTS
EARLY TANG DYNASTY
Each carved with a figure within a panel, one a Buddhist acolyte shown kneeling with hands clasped in prayer, the other squatting to support the border above with his raised hands, his brows scowling in his effort, wearing a short-sleeved shirt tucked into a drawn-up skirt and suspender-like supports, with a short beard, both with cloud-like scrolls to one side and with a band of leafy scroll above, some traces of red pigment and some earth encrustation--11¼ and 11 7/8in. (28.6 and 30.1cm.) high, metal stands (2)
