This pottery panel and 1925.137 were made in molds to be joined with other panels to build a miniature stove. The panels, however, are not complete and presumably do not belong together. This panel depicts a tiger protecting the west. Han dynasty tombs were often furnished with grave goods to provide the deceased with items for the afterlife.
