A PAIR OF BRONZE GUARDIAN FIGURES
17TH CENTURY
Both figures are shown standing with feet apart on the separate softwood bases carved as rockwork. One figure is shown with the hands clasped and the face in a serene expression, while the other is shown with a fierce grimace and bulging eyes. Both wear a helmet surmounted by a prominent tuft and ornate layered armor secured at the waist with a belt of 'jade' plaques and a monster mask, with a celestial scarf billowing down the sides.
16 1/2 in. (42 cm.) high, softwood stands
