Pictures 2 and 3 show a pair of prints of "Door Gods Riding White Horses". They portray a swarthy-faced Wei Chi Gong and a red-faced Qin Qiong, each wearing fish-scale armour and followed by a soldier holding a flag. They look like they are in high spirits, while auspicious accessories, such as double coins and a "fang sheng", a lucky lozenge-shaped object, are placed beside the hooves of their horses to add an expression of good wishes to the prints. These prints are now on display at the "Best Wishes for the Family: Traditional Chinese Woodblock Prints from the Collections of the Hong Kong Heritage Museum" exhibition.
