This set of tomb figurines, produced during the height of the Tang dynasty (618-907), is said to have been excavated from the burial area of an aristocratic family of Loyang in Henan Province, China. They are regarded as part of a group of objects collected when many graves were destroyed as a result of railroad construction.
