Detail:  Guan Yu or Guan Gong played a significant role in the civil war that lead to the collapse of the Han Dynasty and the establishment of the Shu Han.  Many countries regard him as the God of Wealth or God of Protection but he is mostly known as the epitome of loyalty and righteousness.   Superbly done in rosewood, this is a very substantial piece of art.  Circa mid-1900’s. From a private home in Shanghai.   In very good condition.  For the Serious Collector.
