A DEHUA SEATED FIGURE OF GUANDI
17TH CENTURY
The God of War is impressively modelled with a downward gaze, his long hair swept backwards and finely detailed. The armour is intricately detailed and the folds of the fabric are finely depicted. His right hand is held in a clenched fist and his left hand rests on his knee holding two rings. He is seated in a powerful stance on a pierced rocky base above a turtle and snake nestled in a grotto. The reverse is marked with a two-character seal.
14 1/8 in. (36 cm.) high
