Description
H:40cm(15.75in) This is a Ming-Qing Dynasty wooden lacquered and gilded painted statue of Taiyi Jiuku Tianzun (or Zhang Daoling). Carved from solid wood, it is decorated with lacquer, gilding and mineral pigments. The statue is depicted in a sitting posture, riding an auspicious beast (Diting/one-horned lion), wearing a Taoist crown with a kind face, and flowing robe carvings. Despite worn gilding, it retains an aura of Taoist immortality. Taiyi Jiuku Tianzun is a core deity in Taoism, revered for saving sentient beings and dispelling disasters. This work embodies the realistic style and exquisite wood carving craftsmanship of Ming-Qing Taoist statues, representing a classic form for traditional Taoist worship.
