LATE QING DYNASTY

The twins are shown facing and laughing with one another. The standing twin is wearing loose robes open at the chest to reveal a ruyi-form necklace, holding in his right hand a large plantain leaf draping over his shoulders. The other twin seated beside him with robes open at the chest to reveal a similar necklace, with long hair trailing down his back and a bald patch on the top of his head, holding a half-opened basket in his right hand to reveal a bat, with a further bat rests on the cover of the basket. The back of the group is impressed with a four-character seal mark reading He Chaozong yin.
