Twin Dragons Gaze Upon the‘Three Stars’– Cut Tile Mosaic


The main roof ridge (Xishi Ridge) atop the Sanchuan Altar is garnished with images of animals and plants richly decorated in cut-tile mosaic. The three ‘stars’ of wealth, good fortune and longevity, lovingly carved, gaze downward. Age has taken a visible toll on this display. The fairy behind the god of wealth has lost her head, while the child supposed to be in the arms of the god of good fortune has been long missing.
