Description:

This massive bronze figure measures 21 inches tall by 9 inches wide by 8 inches in depth.

It is in excellent condition with remnants of old gilt and colors remaining in areas. The head is completely covered with an original layer of gold and the remainder is covered with a deep brown patina overall.

There are engraved Chinese character marks on the reverse side of the base which translates as left two. There are additional marks on the Gui held in front of the figure (translation undetermined at this time).

Provenance on this massive and outstanding, museum quality gilt bronze figure: It was purchased from a collection of Asian antiques, originally acquired by one of the US military advisors to Chang Kai Chek and passed down through his family.

Many of the items that Chang looted or liberated during his travels became the basis for the National Museum Collection in Taiwan (except, of course, those items sold along the way to raise funds periodically).
