Zhenwu Tortoise and Serpent Taoist Carving

The figure sits within an irregular raised border. A winding serpent and rounded tortoise form distinguish the companion relief.

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 a shelf or altar, consider the object from your usual viewing height. Leave enough space around the outline for the carving to be seen. Display supports and neighboring objects in a photograph are not a reliable guide to its scale.

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.
