Tang Dynasty, 7th-8th Century
Shown seated on its haunches with forelegs held out straight and both feet firmly planted on an integral rectangular platform base, fiercely roaring with its head turned sharply to look over one shoulder and its mouth open to show rows of teeth and pointed fangs, the large eyes with incised pupils set in an intense gaze under furrowed bushy eyebrows, the ears pinned back on either side of the thick flowing mane which extends down onto the powerfully arched back, with a short beard curling down in three points onto the muscular chest and with a long tail curled over the right hind leg, the smoothly polished stone of mottled pale silvery-white tone, with finely engraved details throughout.
