Zhenwu Cloud-Crest Taoist Plaque

A seated figure occupies one face beneath a curling crest. The reverse concentrates on a single large carved inscription.

Sold individually.

Zhenwu is honored as a guardian associated with the north. A depiction of him may be chosen for protection or devotion. The figure’s posture and surrounding signs help distinguish the design from other Taoist guardian imagery.

For display, decide which face you want to read from a little distance. Deep relief and narrow incised lines catch side light differently; leave room around the outline rather than pressing the face against another object.

For measurements or material details not listed here, ask about this exact piece before ordering. A photograph can show color and surface detail but cannot establish composition or scale.
