AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
An oriental art sculpture cast in bronze with a dark patina, depicting a warrior deity or temple guardian (attributable to the classical iconography of Weituo or Guandi). The figure is depicted standing in a proud and stern pose, dressed in rich ceremonial armor finely detailed and decorated, surmounted by the classic blue ribbon (yinguo) floating behind the shoulders.
Casting structure: Entirely made using the traditional lost-wax technique, the sculpture appears hollow inside, a typical and characteristic feature of period Chinese castings that attests to its authenticity and craftsmanship.
Attribute (Weapon): The warrior wields a sword (dao) removable (to oneself), an independent element that fits perfectly into the statue’s hand grip.
Base: The figure rests on and is fixed to a solid, era-appropriate wooden base, which guarantees exact stability and a perfect display presentation.
