This print showcases a remarkable Chinese statuette of the god Kuan-ti, dating back to the 17th century. Housed within the prestigious Victoria and Albert Museum, this ancient artefact is truly a sight to behold. The statuette depicts Kuan-ti, a revered deity of war, in all his glory. The attention to detail is exquisite; from the intricate carvings on his clothes and cloak to the finely sculpted beard that adorns his wise old face. Clad in vibrant green attire and an ornate hat, Kuan-ti exudes power and authority as he gazes off into the distance. This male figure emanates a sense of strength and divinity that transcends time itself. As one stands before this statue, it is impossible not to be captivated by its spiritual presence. Its significance within Chinese religious practices cannot be understated. Mike Dixon's masterful photography captures every nuance of this extraordinary artwork with precision and finesse. The image transports viewers into another era, allowing them to appreciate both its historical value and artistic brilliance. As we marvel at this stunning representation of Kuan-ti, we are reminded of the rich cultural heritage that resides within museums like Victoria and Albert. This photograph serves as a testament to our collective human history while also offering us a glimpse into an ancient world filled with gods and legends.
