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.
