Vintage Chinese Marble Plaque. Measures 8". Excellent condition. I'm not sure how you would hang it. There is no hanger.
This striking vintage plaque is crafted from solid polished marble and features a fine-line depiction of Cheng Huang, traditionally known as the "Lord of the Wall and Moat". In Chinese mythology, Cheng Huang acts as a divine official responsible for justice, safety, and the prosperity of his territory. He is shown here in his classic bureaucratic role, accompanied by two attendants who assist him in his duties as a spiritual judge.
The plaque measures 8 inches in diameter and showcases the natural, dark-veined patterns of the stone, which provide a beautiful contrast to the ivory-toned artwork. Because these pieces were often produced as high-quality export art in the mid-20th century, they frequently feature hand-painted or meticulously etched details that reflect centuries of religious tradition. This piece would serve as a powerful decorative accent for a home altar, a study, or as a unique addition to a collection of Asian art and artifacts.
This item is vintage, over 20 years old. While the item appears to be in excellent condition, there is the possibility I may have missed a minor detail. If I missed a major flaw, I would reach out prior to sending it.
