At Frank Lloyd Wright's desert camp in Scottsdale called "Taliesin West," there are these wonderful Chinese figurines built into the walls.Frank Lloyd Wright had a shipment of Chines figurines sent to his desert camp in north Scottsdale, but many arrived damaged.
Ever the artist, Wright and his apprentices created wonderful scenes and a sense of place with these figurines integrated throughout the property.

It's been decades since I've been to Taliesin West, and I don't recall seeing these figures. Thanks for posting!
Very cute figurines :)
Looks nice!
I stayed at Wingspread a couple of years ago and he incorporated a few surprises there, too.
Incredible.
Happy New Year (I know, I'm late!)
