Beyond their practical role of shielding wooden structures from rain and erosion, Chinese eave tiles are canvases of history. For over 2,000 years, their intricate designs – from cloud patterns to mythical beasts – have mirrored the aesthetics and daily lives of each dynasty. A fusion of function and artistry, these unassuming tiles guarded palaces and homes alike while whispering stories of the past.
