A pair of tarnished silver sculptures depicts two seated figures with jovial expressions and twin hair knots atop their heads. Facing us, they have rounded faces with narrowed eyes and wide smiles. The figure on our left holds a circular ring, while the figure on our right holds a lidded bowl. They wear robes over decorative openwork bases featuring swirling cloud patterns.
