- Cover photo description:
- Chinese imperial roof decorations or roof charms or roof-figures or `walking beasts` or `crouching beasts` were statuettes placed along the ridge line of official buildings of the Chinese empire. Only official buildings palaces, government buildings, and some temples were permitted to use such roof decorations. Chinese roofs are typically of the hip roof type, with small gables, so decorations along the ridge line were highly visible to observers. Variant versions are still widespread in Chinese temples.
