Tsu, 18th century
ebony Kwanyu
height 2 _ in., 7.1 cm
He stands with his sword drawn, his robes billowing around his paunch, and his beard flying away from his fierce countenance, he scowls with furrowed brow while looking to his left, the eyes double inlaid in brass and dark metal. Signed on the bottom of his boots, Minko on the left, with kao on the right.
