Did You Know?

A baby is nestled in a blossom on the tray that Field Marshal Gao is holding.

Description

These six martial figures are Field Marshals in the Daoist pantheon. In the lower row from left to right are Field Marshals Li Feng 李封, Tie Tou 鐵頭, Gao Tong 高銅, and Wang Tie 王鐵. Field Marshal Wen Xiong 溫瓊 is on the top left. The inscription identifying the final field marshal has been trimmed off, so his identity is unclear.
