Large Chinese Sancai Figure of Lokopala

in the Tang style but later, modeled standing upon an ox in repose, with arm raised, in traditional costume, decorated to the exterior in distinctive green, yellow and brown enamels, the face and hands unglazed.
h. 32", w. 14"

**There is small chip and a repair to the right ear with a visible overpainted "touch-up." There is a well-done professional repair to the spade-form sleeve cuff on the left arm that has been over-glazed. Small overpainted and glazed "touch-ups" are also present to an ~5" horizontal hairline crack that extends from the lower center of the jacket outward to the raised knee and to another small vertical area (3/4") at the hem on the back of the jacket. Figure exhibits some minor nicks, chips, scratches and surface soiling scattered throughout, as well as innate firing anomalies - kiln grit, spurs and firing fissures. In overall good condition. Condition is commensurate with age, medium and use.
