Ancient Chinese Square Pavilion

This 15mm ancient Chinese square pavilion is based on several surviving examples, depictions and models. It is designed to be used as a baggage element for any Chinese army and to fit on a standard 40x40mm DBM baggage base. Traditionally Chinese pavilions are small covered structure with little or no walls, that were initially erected at roadside in the Warring States era more than 2,200 years ago as shelters for soldiers. After China was reunited under the Qin, a unified postal system was established, and roadside pavilions were used for the government postmen on horseback as relay stations. They also provided travelers with a place to take a rest in long journey and a shelter during the rain.
