This figure represents Virupaksha, known in China as Guangmu Tianwang, one of the four Celestial Kings of the Directions, sworn to protect Buddhism eternally. They were traditionally placed at the cardinal points of the compass in Buddhist temples, to protect Buddhist deities. They are reputed to be accompanied by large forces of supernatural warriors and placed at four corners of the Buddhist altar. Guardian figures continued to be of importance in Buddhism, and are found as sculptures or paintings in most Buddhist temples in China today.

Virupaksha is the guardian of the West. He lives on the western part of Sumeru. He is the leader of the nagas and putanas, and possesses the divine eye, which allows him to see great distances as well as the karma of sentient beings.

Auction result comparison: Compare a closely related lacquered bronze of Virupaksha, also dated to the Ming dynasty, at Christie’s Paris in Art d’Asie on 14 December 2011, lot 62, sold for EUR 43,000.
