Qing to Republic-period production (circa 1880–1930)

A mercury gilt-bronze figure of a wrathful guardian deity or a related armored dharmapāla, standing in alidha posture on prostrate figures and animals on a double-lotus base. The figure is heavily armored, with lamellar cuirass, boots, and fluttering scarves, and stands dynamically with one leg bent and the other extended, a classic martial guardian stance. The ferocious face, flaming red hair, and skull tiara place it among wrathful protectors in the Sino-Tibetan Buddhist tradition. The separate lower plinth with recumbent human and animal, plus the stepped lotus base and oval pedestal with incised crossed-vajra (visvavajra) underside, are all standard for Chinese-produced Tibetan-style bronzes of this type. 

The piece appears to be cast in sections and fire-gilded, with the base plate secured by folded tabs and engraved with a visvavajra; the original consecration contents may be intact. Wear to the gilding on projecting areas, dark patina with greenish accretions in recesses, and losses/corrosion to the flaming hair and facial area are visible, 

Size 5 inches (12.7cm) Height. Intact.
