A solid brass figure of Guan Yu standing with his halberd, about 20cm tall and close to two kilograms. Hand chased and polished in an antique gold tone for an altar or reception desk.
Guan Yu is honoured as a symbol of loyalty and righteousness, and is widely placed in shops and offices as a guardian of honest trade. This figure is cast in solid brass and hand chased so the armour, beard and halberd keep their definition, then polished to a warm antique gold that reads as aged metal rather than new plating. Standing about 20cm tall on an integrated rectangular base and weighing close to two kilograms, it is a substantial altar piece rather than a small desk ornament. Small variation in the polish reflects the hand finishing.
Each figure is cast, chased and polished by hand, then weight checked and inspected for flaws at the face and weapon, which are the areas most likely to lose definition. Foam packing protects the halberd in transit.
A premium line for temple suppliers and gift retailers serving business owners. The weight and hand chasing justify a far higher price than hollow cast resin figures, and the piece photographs well for catalogue use.
