A rare and magnificent antique Chinese Sancai glazed pottery temple guardian figure, designed to ward off evil spirits and protect the owners tomb.
Finely hand-crafted in Imperial China, early Qing dynasty (1644-1911), most impressive large size and proportions, exceptional quality, deep rich polychrome color, the exquisitely detailed Asian antique temple statue featured posed atop base of clouds, appearing to be floating forward through the sky, standing in conquering position with one knee raised and forward, his left hand raised and bent at elbow like he was with weapon, right hand resting on hip grasping scarf, wearing finely articulated full armor with stamped decoration including foo dog lion on the breast plate and epaulettes at each shoulder in the form of horned mythical beast masks, his face left in the biscuit and exceptionally well-modeled, with long bushy beard and vigorous facial expression, wearing ornamented leather helmet. All richly glazed in tones of amber, green and cream.
A remarkable museum quality example, in overall great condition, presents splendidly, with minimal wear, attractive patina, and highly desirable craquelure crazing. Today, it would display wonderfully on a large table, shelf or atop a fireplace mantle, sure to add sophisticated antique character, elegant whimsical warmth, and rich cultural interest to any space!
