A dragons welcome… guarding the museum are two large ceramic dragons

The gold shimmers in the light, and even though they look ferociously scary, they have a gentle beautiful look about them.

Pure lands

From the fifth century, the notion of Pure Lands was established in
China, called to become a central concept in many Chinese Buddhist schools. The Pure Lands are places out of time and space presided over by a Buddha. That of the West is thus associated with the Buddha Amitabha, which is the object of an important cult throughout East Asia. A simple act of faith is supposed to be necessary to be reborn within it.

I love the green patina. It reminds me of a Pekingese Dog that originated in China. The breed was favored by royalty of the Chinese Imperial Court as a companion dog.
