That is why the footprint comes out almost square at \u003cstrong\u003e32.2mm by 32.6mm\u003c\/strong\u003e: the piece is as wide as the staff and as tall as the cap, and nothing was trimmed to fit a rectangle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHe stands on a \u003cstrong\u003esomersault cloud\u003c\/strong\u003e, and the cloud is fully a third of the piece — carved into deep rolling \u003cstrong\u003espiral curls\u003c\/strong\u003e that give the whole thing its base and its motion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAbove it, everything is in the pose people know him by.

He wears layered \u003cstrong\u003earmour\u003c\/strong\u003e — shoulder plates, a worked breastplate, a sash knotted at the waist and skirt panels flaring at the hips. The \u003cstrong\u003eRuyi Jingu Bang\u003c\/strong\u003e, his golden staff, is carried horizontally \u003cstrong\u003ebehind his neck with both hands up on it\u003c\/strong\u003e, running clean past the width of his shoulders on both sides.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe whole thing is finished in satin with only the bail left bright, so the armour, the fur and the cloud read as three different textures instead of one glare.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is the compact companion to our \u003cstrong\u003e3D Monkey King Riding a Dragon\u003c\/strong\u003e. Sun Wukong is the trickster of \u003cem\u003eJourney to the West\u003c\/em\u003e — born from stone, thrown out of heaven for insubordination, pinned under a mountain for five hundred years, then sent to escort a monk across the world.
