Description
Chinese Tang Dynasty 618-907 AD. Terracota tomb guardian. This Lokapala statue is a warrior image. He wears a helmet, a strap, and a suit of armor. His awesome physical attributes, including glaring eyes and brawny muscles, command authority and respect. Two groveling and struggling ghosts under his feet serve as foil to his determination, boldness, and integrity. Size: 12" H x 4-1/2" W.Provenance: Ex Smith Collection, Artemis Gallery, 2014 acquired by Dr. Henry Cherrick, a professor and dean at UCLA School of dentistry who pioneered government programs promoting dental care in HIV/AIDs patients. He was an avid collector of fine art and antiquities and died at the age of 84 in 2023. Original documents included.
