A PAINTED STONE DOOR LINTEL

EASTERN HAN DYNASTY OR LATER

The rectangular panel is carved in low relief with three horse-drawn chariots, escorted by two equestrian guards, approaching a pair of figures bowing in reverence. The scene is framed on top and the sides by a frieze of sinuous knobby-vine interspersed by various animals, including a fox, a duck, an owl, a monkey and a deer. The lintel has traces of red, orange and white pigments.
