1900 Print Temple 500 Gods Canton China Deity Shrine Buddhism Gods XGN4 XAW4 Turkey by Warwick GobleThis is an original 1900 halftone print of the Temple of 500 Gods which is named because within its walls are seated five hundred life size images of gilded wood, representing deified sages of Buddhist faith. They are all coarse specimens of sculpture and many are amusing caricatures. In front of each is a small jar of ashes, in which the worshiper burns a stick of incense in honor of his favorite god.
