This print showcases the exquisite Ivory Figure of Tien Kuan, Master of Heaven, dating back to the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644). The figure represents a significant aspect of Chinese mythology, philosophy, and religion as Tian symbolizes heaven itself. Displayed at the renowned British Museum, this remarkable piece reflects the rich cultural heritage of China. The photograph captures a male figure dressed in traditional Chinese robes adorned with intricate gold detailing.
