Bamboo Satue 3

Bamboo Statue 3 is an authentic, full-scale stone monumental sculpture that forms part of the traditional lineage of ancient outdoor guardian icons of the Dwarapala typology. This statue features a robustly proportioned physique in a ready stance atop a tiered stone pedestal, complete with intricately carved waist sashes and detailed bodily adornments. In contrast to the previous figures, this open-air protector is depicted holding a thick traditional short sword or heavy dagger in its right hand with the blade facing upward, while its left hand grips a circular shield by its side, exuding an impressive combination of tactical alertness and mystical power weathered through time.
