each disciple of Buddha dressed in crisply draped monk's robes, portrayed seated on a rockwork stool, either in his characteristic posture or with his attribute, wood stands (8)

All the figures have a stained age crack across the top of their heads, some staining of the ivory, and two holes drilled in their base. All the stands also have museum deaccession numbers written in red ink on the bottom, purportedly from the Museum of Petrified Creatures. One luohan has lost his attribute, and there are some shallow age cracks in his back.
