Originally fewer in number in Indian Buddhism, the group expanded to eighteen in Chinese tradition, each with a unique personality, appearance, and symbolic meaning.These figures are often portrayed in temple art, shown in dynamic poses or interacting with animals and mythical creatures. Among the most iconic is the Tiger Taming Lohan, symbolizing the conquest of base instincts and the power of compassion and self-mastery. Another notable figure is the Dragon Taming Lohan, representing the control of chaotic forces and hidden wisdom.The Lohans are not gods but enlightened beings who remain in the world until the future Buddha, Maitreya, appears. They serve as moral exemplars and spiritual guardians, offering protection and inspiration to practitioners. Their presence in Chinese Buddhist culture highlights the fusion of spiritual ideals with folklore, artistry, and moral teachings. Condition:One has damage to the rim but with some pieces/shards extant.  Both handle rings missing.One has minor signs of age only.One has restoration and repair to the rim and neck.

L K Karunaratne (Sri Lankan 1932-2013): 'Vattiamma', poster colour on card signed with initials 32cm x 18cmNotes: Karunaratne was a key figure in Sri Lanka’s heritage conservation movement and a respected artist.

Karunaratne’s detailed studies of sites like Degaldoruwa and Medawala, as well as his extensive drawings of Kelaniya clay toys, highlight his dedication to preserving the island's artistic legacy. His works have been showcased in exhibitions organized by the National Trust of Sri Lanka and are held in various collections, including the University of Moratuwa and other important private and state collections.

LTP Manjusri (Sri Lankan 1902-1982 - Columbo '43 Group): 'At The Palace' pencil rubbing etching signed with initials in pencil 20cm x 40cmNotes: LTP Manjusri was a pioneering figure in modern Sri Lankan art, known for his unique blend of traditional Buddhist themes and contemporary techniques. Born in 1902, he initially trained as a scholar in Sinhala, Pali, and Buddhist philosophy before discovering his passion for painting in Shantiniketan, where he met Nandalal Bose. A founding member of the Colombo '43 Group, Manjusri’s work—spanning temple murals, original paintings, and etchings—reflects his deep cultural and religious roots. His contributions were internationally recognized, with exhibitions in London, Vienna, and New York, and works held in major collections including the New York Public Library and the Horniman Museum. In 1979, he was honored with the Ramon Magsaysay Award and an honorary doctorate from the University of Peradeniya.
