明十五 / 十六世紀 鎏金銅關羽立像

the deity standing firmly on his feet, showing a fierce facial expression with furrowed brows, wide eyes and heavy beard, wearing loose-fitted robes and a flowing shawl around his shoulder draping along the sides, partially revealing the thick embellished armour underneath, a finger raised to slightly above his shoulder, a sword held upright in his other hand, hexagonal stand

The loosely attached ribbon suspending from the deity's waist is a replacement. His raised finger has possibly been bent and restored. The overall condition is otherwise quite good except for some minor dents, surface scratches and expected wear to the gilt decoration.
