The Beast Rider

Viewing notes

A viewer's written impression — not a buyer review or first-hand record

This copper-toned figure rides a mythical beast beneath a great vermilion disc of a halo. He wears an ornate five-pointed crown and sits with lowered eyes in complete composure, a tall ringed staff upright in his right hand and a small flaming jewel resting in his left palm at his chest. The robe falls from his shoulders with a dark-red lining showing at the edges, its folds spreading in layers down the beast’s back; one foot rests lightly on a small lotus stand before the seat. Below, the beast lies couched on a rectangular plinth — single horn raised, eyes glaring, fangs bared, claws sharp, its tail curling into flame. The beast’s ferocity is exactly what sets off the rider’s stillness. The red halo hangs behind like a full moon, deepening the copper into something heavier and warmer. A commanding piece for the principal place of a shrine, or for anchoring a large room.
