About the Item

Chinese polychrome enameled ceramic roof ornament, early 20th century, These figurines were designed to ward off evil spirits and protect the owners. It is a versatile type of Chinese decoration using glazes, predominately in three colors-amber, green and cream. These were first developed in the late seventh century and used primarily for funerary goods. This bearded warrior appears to be in a running stance with outstretched hands, dressed in full body armor. Figure stands on wooden base with Lucite holders that measures 9.75"L x 4.25"D x 6"H.
