Description

A BRONZE FIGURE OF GUANDI, MING DYNASTY

China, 1368-1644. The heroic figure poised on a rectangular throne atop a four-legged basse decorated with a neatly incised foliate apron, his hands resting on his thighs, wearing a cloth cap centered by a ruyi-head below an elegantly tied bow, the sleeves of his robe billowing out from beneath the elaborate armor cast with a large ferocious beast-mask at the belly and two smaller beast-masks at the epaulet. His face cast with a stern expression marked by sinuous eyes, thick furrowed brows, wide flaring nostrils, and tight-lipped mouth fixed in a scowl, framed by the long wavy mustache and chin beard.

Provenance: From a private collection in Vienna, Austria.
Condition: Good condition with wear and casting irregularities. Few minute nicks, light scratches, extensive remnants of lacquer and pigments.

Weight: 3,469 g
Dimensions: Height 29.5 cm

Guandi, also known as Guangong (The Lord Guan), is reputed to be the military hero Guan Yu of the Three Kingdoms period (220-265), who was killed in battle in JIngzhou by the army of Sun Quan, the ruler of the state of Wu. The cult of Guandi was actively supported by the Ming court and his image can be found in court paintings. During the Qing period his popularity continued to grow and he became an important deity for both Daoist and Buddhist devotees.In Buddhism the guardian is worshipped as Jialan Zunzhe, and is traditionally located at the left lower corner of a Chinese altar, opposite the bodhisattva Skanda, or Weituo.
