This gilt bronze seated figure wears a scarf over its head and a conical cap that spreads across its shoulders. Featuring thick eyebrows, a moustache, and a goatee beard in five tufts, the plump face carries a solemn expression. The figure wears gold armor, robes, and a leather belt. Both arms hang naturally. The right arm appears as if ready to bow, whilst a clenched fist rests lightly near its waist. Its left palm faces downwards, gently touching its thigh. Robes drape down its knees. On a cloud, the figure looks to be squatting comfortably.

Guan Yu was a famous general and champion during the Three Kingdoms Period China. Known for his loyalty and bravery, he was later deified as Guan Di. Guan Di is a highly revered god of war and fortune who heals illness, protects from disaster, and drives out evil spirits.
