Here's another image of the roof detail on this Chinese Temple in Georgetown, Penang. Again we have figures in some form of scene or story. The structure behind them looks to be some form of elaborate ship. At right is the prow and in the middle appears to be a sail. I'm left wondering if these were pre-assembled before being mounted on the roof or if they were constructed in-situ.
