Ming Dynasty Tudigong 土地公 Rare Ming Dynasty (1368-1644 CE) pottery image of the Taoist “folk” God, Tudi Gong. He is a very popular God and is considered a community guardian, which is why you will see his small shrines in rural villages and urban neighborhoods, venerated by common people. Literally he is an erath God (God of the soil). Most of the original pigments are intact, with excellent detail and garments and face- there is one shallow chip on under the base noted in enlargement 5# H: 19.4cm/7.7in and bas W: 10.5cm/4.1in. Included is a simple perspex stand.
