A GILT BRONZE FIGURE OF WEITUO PUSA Ming Dynasty
A GILT BRONZE FIGURE OF WEITUO PUSA Ming Dynasty
Item Details
Description
A GILT BRONZE FIGURE OF WEITUO PUSA
Ming Dynasty
The figure standing with the right hand lowered and the left raised with an outstretched palm, the youthful face gazing forward intently below a winged helmet, the body covered with ornate armour secured by cords, sashes and a belt, a celestial scarf encircling the shoulders, extensively detailed and gilt, raised on a bronze stand.
The figure 42cm (16 1/4in) high
Footnotes:
明 銅鎏金韋陀立像

Provenance: an English private collection.

Compare with two related gilt-bronze guardian figures, Ming Dynasty, with stylistically comparable detailed outfit, in the Seattle Art Museum, Seattle, illustrated by H. Munsterberg, Chinese Buddhist Bronzes, Tokyo, 1967, pls.93 and 94.
Condition
There is some surface wear and light wear to the gilding. One of the strands on the top of the hat has a section less than 1cm long missing, there is a possible loss to the figure's 4th finger on the left hand, but this appears to be a production flaw. There are small holes and cut marks to the stand.
