描述
- bronze
finely cast standing on a rectangular base with arms raised in a martial posture, its face set in fierce expression with frowned eyebrows, framed by pendulous earlobes suspending rings and a bejewelled tiara, clad in an elaborate armour adorned with lion masks, monstrous faces on the plastron and a mythical beast at the waist, his loose undergarment billowing in the breeze
Condition
The figure is in good overall condition. The attribute the guardian was originally holding in its hand, possibly a spear or a halberd, is now missing. There are some typical occasional faults in the cast , pitting or minor dents, all consistent with age and the type. The base is old but may be later associated to the figure.
