A superb antique statuette depicting a Chinese figure in a dynamic pose, with a raised fist and a determined expression. Carved from solid wood and enhanced with polychromy, this handcrafted sculpture embodies the codes of Asian folk art, probably from southern China.
The figure appears to embody a traditional guard or warrior, wearing a red tunic adorned with black and gold patterns. The energetic posture, expressive facial features, and vivid colors give this piece a strong narrative feel.
The wood has a beautiful original patina with wear, cracks, and loss of polychromy testifying to its age. The back of the tunic is adorned with a hand-painted decorative motif. The piece rests on a rectangular base of blackened wood, worn by time.
