Subject:Gilt Wood Japanese Warrior King - Which one? Age?
Posted By: Nels Gullerud Thu, Jul 16, 2015 IP: 24.73.18.101

I believe this piece to be one of the 4 heavenly warrior king protectors of buddha. Does this sound correct? Also, there is a wire loop on his right shoulder - I am guessing it was intended to hold something? His sword and pagoda hand accessories are also missing.
I am guessing it is 19th century... could it be older?
Any help would be appreciated
