Both figures are shown standing with feet apart on the separate softwood bases carved as rockwork. One figure is shown with the hands clasped and the face in a serene expression, while the other is shown with a fierce grimace and bulging eyes. Both wear a helmet surmounted by a prominent tuft and ornate layered armor secured at the waist with a belt of 'jade' plaques and a monster mask, with a celestial scarf billowing down the sides.

16 1/2 in. (42 cm.) high, softwood stands
