This impressively striking Heavenly King with flaring full beard is tentatively identified as Mo Li Shou, Guardian of the North. Elaborately carved, Here the face of the Guardian is sublimely placid, he is adorned with several taotie masks over his waistband and shoes, cloaked in long robes, dressed in full array of traditional warrior armor, and stands in an impassive advancing posture, with one foot forward and a raised right fist that once held a whip. The dense rosewood statue is highly polished to a shine, which appeared to have a few age related minor splits. Overall it is remaining in very good condition.
Estimated Value $800
