Reverse description Two imposing guardian warrior figures (Heavenly Kings) depicted in dynamic, high-relief poses, their garments rendered with fine sculptural detail evoking the Tang Dynasty stone carvings of the Longmen Grottoes. The background field is densely filled with rows of small seated Buddha figures in relief, creating a striking visual pattern. The face value '50元' appears in the lower portion of the field.
