Kneeling winged monsters. These limestone sculptures from China date back to the Northern Qi Dynasty (550-577 AD). The crown, the doglike face, the upright posture, the vertical wings, and the swirling winds are all shared motifs. These pictures were recently released by the Smithsonian. -- source link
