Light passes through it, which is the reason it looks the way it does on the chain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eframe\u003c\/strong\u003e is built in stepped tiers, with squared tabs breaking out along both sides and a scalloped cloud-form \u003cstrong\u003ecrest\u003c\/strong\u003e across the top carrying a small circular medallion at its centre. The same cloud scalloping closes the bottom edge, so the outline is decorative on all four sides rather than a plain rectangle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eGod of War\u003c\/strong\u003e stands at the centre in genuine three-dimensional relief — not carved into the plate but standing off it. He is in layered \u003cstrong\u003earmour\u003c\/strong\u003e with a plumed helmet, robes and sash falling and turning around the legs, and his \u003cstrong\u003eglaive\u003c\/strong\u003e held on the diagonal across the body. Every plate of the armour and every fold of the robe is separately cut.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA \u003cstrong\u003edragon\u003c\/strong\u003e comes over his shoulder from the upper right — horned head, cut mane, scaled body — and its coils run down the right side and gather into the cloud and wave scrollwork filling the lower third of the plaque.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBehind all of it, the pierced ground is worked in fine \u003cstrong\u003ediamond-cut rays\u003c\/strong\u003e fanning out from behind the figure. Against the satin finish on the frame and the figures, those cut rays are the only bright surfaces on the piece — so the light sits behind the sculpture instead of on it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGuan Yu was a general of the Later Han deified for keeping his word at any cost. Shown standing in full armour with the guandao rather than as a portrait, this is the martial version of the image — the protector, not the sage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWhy You’ll Love It:\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFully Pierced Fretwork\u003c\/strong\u003e – The ground cut through so the piece reads as an openwork screen\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTrue 3D Figure\u003c\/strong\u003e – The god standing off the plate, not carved into it\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDiamond-Cut Ray Ground\u003c\/strong\u003e – Hand-cut rays fanning behind the figure, the only bright surface on the piece\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStepped Decorative Frame\u003c\/strong\u003e – Tiered borders with squared side tabs and cloud-scalloped crest and foot\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDragon Over the Shoulder\u003c\/strong\u003e – Horned head and scaled coils running the right side into the wave scrollwork\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSolid Gold Throughout\u003c\/strong\u003e – No stones and no plating\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe chain shown in the photographs is not included.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMade to order, turnaround time is typically 2-4 weeks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDimensions\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2.5” in height, not including bail\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBail Opening\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e7mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eChain\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNot included\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eEstimated Weight by Purity\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003ePurity\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eApprox.
