Forest of steles - Stone rhino

Forest of steles - Stone rhino

It comes from the tomb of Li Yuan (in the 7th century), where it was placed in pairs and weighs 10 T (2,200 pounds). It is unusual in China, and it is unlikely that there was a lot of rhinos at the time. However, under the Tang dynasty, foreign nations were accustomed to offer rhinos as a token of friendship. Thus, these rhinos would symbolize friendship.
