Early 20th Century Kitchen God Deity Statue
About the Item
A handsome wooden figure of the Kitchen God (灶神 in Chinese, pronounced zào shén), the Chinese name can also be translated into Stove God. He is a popular ancient deity and was mentioned as early as the Jin period (265-420). The task of the Kitchen God was to ensure there was always food for the family, but he also had to supervise and note down the behaviour of the people in that household (you can see the scroll he is holding in one arm), and he will deliver a annual report to the Heavenly Emperor, who would reward or punish them.
This wooden figurine originated from Fujian province. The original colour and patina were retained, and a clear semi-gloss lacquer was applied to protect the colour, and to prevent any peeling of the colour.
