Masterfully hand-carved from a dense, rich hardwood, this dynamic figure captures Guan Yu in full traditional armor featuring intricate scale detailing, flowing robes, and his signature fierce expression with a long, characteristic beard. He stands heroically atop a naturalistic rockery base, holding his legendary weapon, the Guandao (broadsword).

Features: Exceptional hand-carved detailing across the armor, robes, and base; rich, warm dark wood grain patina.

Condition: Vintage condition with wonderful character, showing minor age-appropriate wear and natural wood grain variations that add to its authentic antique appeal.

Dimensions: Ideal statement size for a mantel, bookshelf, entryway console, or study. See less
