caption_attribution_description: Exhibit in the Royal Ontario Museum, Toronto, Ontario, Canada. This exhibit is old enough so that it is in the public domain, and photography was permitted in the museum. I took this photograph and release it into the public domain.
context_page_description: The Companion Statues on display at the Royal Ontario Museum flank a three-metre tall Buddha located in the Southeast Asia Gallery on the first floor at the very back in the centre of the gallery. The sculptures are from the Tang Dynasty period, probably the 8th century, and appear to come from Shanxi Province, China. They represent two luohans, or disciples of the Buddha. The younger luohan has been at the museum since 1922 and the older was purchased in 1990. Curators have concluded that the two luohans are an original pair, but not a set with the Buddha figure.
