"description": "Lohan are disciples of Buddha with supernatural powers and eccentric behaviors. One lohan is holding the peach of longevity (shoutao), the other is holding the fu-dog, symbolizing good luck. 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.",
