Pillar from Tomb Chamber 100 BCE-1 BCE China. In northern China during the Han dynasty, hollow clay bricks were used to construct the small, rectangular chambers of underground tombs.

Two long-robed men (identified by inscription as tingzhang, village officials) flank another protective symbol, a ring-snouted monster mask.
