This impressive vintage Chinese sculpture features a finely cast gilt bronze figure of Kui Xing, the Daoist god of examinations and literature. He is depicted in a dynamic, dancing pose with one leg raised, holding a writing brush aloft in his right hand and a scholar's seal in his left.
Kui Xing stands atop a detailed turtle (or dragon-turtle), a traditional symbol of longevity, wisdom, and academic success. The figure is richly gilded with traces of red pigment remaining on his face and garments, adding depth and character.
