ANCIENT DYNASTY WARRIOR
19 inches tall
Lladro Fine Porcelain
Handmade in Valencia Spain
This is a portrait of a historical chinese warrior called Guan Yu, living from 220 to 280 and who is called in history and literature General of the Three Kingdoms. He is always portraited with a bright red face, long black beard and a guan dao (pole sword) in his hand. Guan Yu is as famous and powerful today as he was in the past; therefore it is fitting that practitioners of traditional Chinese martial arts extend their respect to this acknowledged protector of righteousness, of the training hall, of the theater, of the home and of the small family business.
