These figures are extremely detailed and beautifully glazed in green and rich amber and highlighted in red and white cold painted pigments. Most of the original colors remain in tact. The figures were often placed in a north-south direction in coffin chambers to represent the progress of time. People hoped that such an arrangement would encourage the gods to visit and to guard the tomb.
