The two guardians were set at the entrance of the tomb. The porcelain figurines were shown with their hair bound with a hat on top of their heads. They wore wide-sleeved long dresses covered by lamellar armors, and waistbands could be seen from the back. Their hands were hid inside the sleeves while holding a sword in front of their body. Their grey clay bodies were glazed in green, showing a transparent glass-like texture with ice-broken crackles. These figurines were both hollow.
