Tomb of Ming Emperor Yung-lo, China
Stone Animals'. The tombs of the Ming Emperors of China... This one is of Yung-lo. There are two pairs of each kind [of animal], two kneeling... two standing. We first meet two pairs of lions; then two pairs of unicorns; two pairs of camels, one of which is shown. Two pairs of elephants succeed, beyond these two pairs of fabulous animals called keaon, and still further the mail-clad warriors
