The Shuanglin Temple (Chinese: 双林寺; pinyin: Shuānglín Sì) is a large Buddhist temple in the Shanxi Province of China. It is situated in the countryside of Qiatou village about 6–7 kilometres (3.7–4.3 mi) southwest of the ancient city of Pingyao. It is among the many cultural monuments located in the Pingyao, which is a UNESCO World Heritage site inscribed in 1997. The temple is protected by the state administration.
Founded in the 6th century, the temple is notable for its collection of more than 2,000 decorated clay statues that are dated to the 12th-19th centuries.[1] Its original name was Zongdu but it was renamed during the Northern Song Dynasty period as Shuanglin. It is nicknamed the museum of coloured sculptures. Most of them are dated to the period of the Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties.[2]

These photos are of the clay pieces contained in the Museum of Culture at Santo Domingo in Oaxaca. I will fill in detailed information about them at a later date. Some are as early as 600 B.C., others from the classic period of 500-900 A.D. The oldest ones were found at San Mogote, a site which pre-dates Monte Alban.
I took the photos in sepia because I found that it showed the form more clearly. The rooms where these figures were displayed were quite dark, and I had no tripod. Had to hold my breath and steady the camera.

Hunter makes customized clay figurines for people. He has never worked for anyone else and has always found ways of providing for himself, his wife and son by following his bliss. He travels around the streets of Toronto in his funky white van and parks in different neighborhoods. He usually has great music playing and a few entertaining stories to tell. Make sure to see hi to him when you see him. He would love to meet you. He's quite a character.
