The Bone and Sickle Dance

This was one of my favorite lanterns. It was particularly hard to photograph because of the multiple figures and levels. It shows three beings dancing on an altar under a sickle moon, with other figures dancing around on the ground. There are trees surrounding them, and a strange monolith opposite the altar. The figures are holding bones, a gourd, and a sickle, hence the name.
