About the Item
A rare and evocative wooden sculpture of a male deity, dating to the Ming dynasty (14th–17th century), China. The figure’s calm expression and dignified posture reflect the spiritual authority and artistic refinement of the period.
The surface is beautifully weathered, bearing only faint traces of its original polychrome pigments—subtle reminders of its long history and ritual use. The sculpture remains in good condition, with the neck having been professionally stabilized.
This is a striking and intimate devotional figure, ideal for collectors of early Chinese religious art or for display in refined, meditative interiors.
