This enigmatic Chinese Taoist figure of Erlang Shen is of a particularly large size. He's decorated with polychrome on wood and carries a qinglong ji spear in his right hand and a book in his left. Erlang Shen, also known as Yang Jian, is a Taoist god and the deification of various semi-mythical folk heroes. He has a third truth seeing eye on his forehead. Erlang Shen is represented to this day in video games, television and other pop culture.

This statue dates to the end of the 19th century. On this figure's back, there is a small cut out for prayers.
