石牛 Buffalo

3D ModelNoAI

This sculpture was one of two marble buffalos that were discovered on the south ramp of Tomb No. 1500, along with dragons and tigers in pairs. With a rectangular overall shape, the buffalo is carved in a crouching position, with its teeth gnashing in the undershot jaw. The buffalo has engraved slender “臣” character shaped eyes and a nose with four short, curved lines. A pair of incurving horns with simple decorations rest behind the eyes; below that sits a pair of drop shaped ears. The body of the buffalo is plain, with only vague lines drawing the shape of the limbs. A short tail rests on the raising buttocks of the buffalo.
