He is seated in a powerful stance on a rocky base above a turtle and snake nestled in a grotto. Height 24 cm.

Cracks. Fingers and part of the snake missing. Firing defects.

Kirjallisuus

The figure is depicted on page 121 in Svenska Hem i ord och bild, from 1920.

The tortoise at the base of the sculpture identifies this figure as Zhenwu, an important Daoist deity who also was worshipped in Buddhist traditions. Zhenwu became particularly popular during the Ming dynasty (1368–1644), when he was revered as a protector of both the state and the imperial family. His role as a guardian reflects his association with the north, the direction from which China was constantly threatened by neighboring peoples from Central Asia.
