Earthenware with impressed relief decoration; overall: 11.4 x 31.1 cm (4 1/2 x 12 1/4 in.). Han dynasty tombs were often furnished with grave goods to provide the deceased with items for the afterlife.

Opposite one another on the two long sides of the stove are representations of the eastern dragon and western tiger, here fended off by a lancer.
