Title
Lohan Holding a Fu Dog
Object type ceramic
object_type QS:P31,Q45621
Description
This lohan, a disciple of Buddha with supernatural powers, was perhaps part of a house altar set or a decorative item in a household. Lohans, also known as arhats, are said to be able to tame tigers and tread on water. Here the lohan is shown as a monklike figure, holding a fu-dog.

This lohan and its pair holding the peach of immortality (1964.191.1) embody a humorous attitude and playful behavior, indifference to danger and miracles, and hence a detachment from worldly affairs.

During the 1600s, porcelain sculptures decorated in famille verte overglaze enamel colors were produced for the domestic as well as export market to Europe.
