In here, you will see a picture of 2 Holland-citizenship (Ang Mo) Door Deities.
This pair of Door Deities can be seen in Taiwan Lu Er Men Zhen Men Gong (台灣鹿兒門鎮門宮).
This Temple was built dedicated to Zheng Cheng Gong aka Kai Tai Wang Ye (hkk: Tee Sheng Kong 開台王爺鄭成功).
According to the record, Zheng Cheng Gong requested to have the Door Deities to be 2 Ang Mo and so, in-order to fulfill Lord Zheng's request, the Temple keepers painted 2 Holland Soldiers on the Door.
If you will to see carefully on the feets, they do not have shoes, reason is that, their feet size too big, no chinese shoes can fit them.
One year in the 50-60s (五六十年代), these 2 Door Deities actually appeared in dreams of the Local to request for shoes and during that year, Lu Er Men actually conducted a Grand Event on choosing a good & fit pair of shoes for the 2 Door Deities (選靴大會).
Till today, the story is still being told by the Elderlys of the town.
