The statue captures the general in a powerful, commanding stance, appearing to be atop a rocky outcrop or battleground. He is clad in meticulously detailed, scaled armor, which features intricate dragon motifs suggesting his high status and martial prowess. In his raised hands, he wields his iconic weapon, the Green Dragon Crescent Blade (or Guan Dao), poised in a striking motion. A touch of contrasting color is provided by a flowing sash or piece of fabric rendered in a lighter, golden bronze, which adds a sense of movement to the otherwise dark, patinated bronze finish. His face bears a fierce, resolute expression, emphasized by his characteristic long, flowing beard, conveying an aura of unwavering bravery and might. ( knife is removable )
