Would you tell me, please, what all those images mean and what they are made of? I have been trying to find out.

Thanks

@Mark Still: Made of terracotta. See here for more info.

mark still from United States

Terra cotta, yes, thank you! But what do the images symbolize? I mean, I see the lions, but surely the designs mean something?

@mark still: I don't know.
