Sekijin sekiba

Sekijin sekiba (Japanese: 石人石馬) is the inclusive term for sculptures in stone from the ancient burial mounds of Kofun-period Japan. It includes not only the stone figures of humans and horses denoted by the kanji, but also depictions of other animals and objects. For this reason, these sculptures are sometimes referred to alternatively as sekisei hyōshoku (石製表飾).
