Standing guard over the structure above (we can only imagine their importance), their mouths are open, their tongues protruding, and their teeth are exposed; their power is controlled by a collar with a harness attached to a flower on the back. The hair and the mane are finely chiseled, the former appearing braided and the latter spotted. See less
