拍品描述

英文品名：A BRONZE SEATED FIGURE OF GUANDI, MING DYNASTY 尺寸：L:18cm;W:12cm;H:37cm 此像為銅鑄，關公端坐，頭巾長髯，面如重棗，眉緊目威。身着鱗片鎧甲，外罩戰袍，左手撫膝，右手持《春秋》一卷。足踏須彌座式方座。銅皮黑亮古厚，甲胄紋鏤精細。為明代銅關公坐像。關公，名羽，字雲長，三國蜀漢名將，以忠義著稱。死後歷代加封，宋封武安王，明封三界伏魔大帝，清封關聖大帝，儒稱武聖，與孔子並列。佛道二教亦奉為伽藍菩薩、協天大帝。關公像多作讀《春秋》狀，象徵文武雙全；或持刀立姿，威鎮門庭。商賈奉為武財神，祈誠信致富。 This bronze Guandi sits wearing a headcloth and long beard, his face stern and reddish. He is clad in scaled armour under a war robe, the left hand on the knee and the right holding a Spring and Autumn Annals. He rests on a rectangular throne base. The bronze is black and ancient, the armour finely chased. It is a Ming Guandi. Guan Yu (Yunchang) was a Shu-Han general of the Three Kingdoms, famed for loyalty. Posthumously enfeoffed—King in the Song, Demon-Subduing Emperor in the Ming, Holy Emperor Guan in the Qing—he became the martial sage alongside Confucius, and is also the Buddhist guardian and martial God of Wealth. Seated images reading the Spring and Autumn Annals symbolize both letters and arms; merchants venerate him for integrity and prosperity.
