Guardian on the Flame Wheel

Viewing notes

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

This polychrome wrathful guardian is all motion. Red hair is bound under a small golden crown, a red beard falls to the chest, the eyes are wide and the brows slanted in anger; the right arm is flung high, gripping a segmented steel mace, while the left fist is clenched at the waist. Golden scale armour covers the body, its scales layered across breastplate and skirt, a beast-face belt buckle glaring at the waist, a dark patterned war robe worn over it all. Two long teal-green ribbons loop around the figure in great arcs above the head and beside the legs, lending flight to the fury. One foot is planted among clouds, the other treads a red wheel wreathed in flames; below, golden clouds churn with small red flames rising between them. Made to be enshrined as a protector, or placed by an entrance, where it meets the eye with upright, dauntless force.
