Front Chamber rubbing

Dateca. 1930s

Made in Wu Liang Shrine from stone carvings of the Eastern Han dynasty

Label TextArchitecturally, the Front and Left Chambers are very similar, being larger than the Wu Liang Shrine and possessing more richly decorated recesses in their south walls. The most conspicuously similar motif shared by the Front and Left Chambers is the "Battle at the Bridge" scenes. It is generally accepted that the Front Chamber was dedicated to Wu Liang's nephew Wu Rong.
