Description
"La balance où l'on agite l'idole une fois par an. Chevaux sentinelles en terre cuite près des pagodes." In the picture on the top, a missionary stands with a group of people who are stirring the idol. There are three statues of horses behind them and a swing in front of them. In the picture on the bottom, there are many more of the same kind of horses pictured. They are terracotta horses and are near a pagoda.
