Description

Building with two figures from Shizian, Leshan, Tomb 3. Two people, the one on the right kneeling, before a house or shelter with tiled roof. The person on the left appears to be holding out an object resembling the so-called symbol of authority. The interior of the house is not very clear, but the remains of what is probably a seated figure can be seen. One of a set of rubbings made in the 1930's of Han Dynasty cave tomb reliefs.
