Copper Chronicles of Legends · Timeless Archetypes
Forged in bronze, this collection reimagines China’s millennia-spanning cultural icons. The "Mythic Figures" series crystallizes myth, history, and belief into tangible form—where Guan Yu’s loyalty, Zhong Kui’s righteous fury, the Three Star Deities’ blessings, and the Monkey King’s rebellious wisdom converge, eternally conversing through metal’s luminous language.
Master artisans blend lost-wax casting (a UNESCO-recognized heritage) with hand-chasing techniques to breathe life into each figure: Guan Yu’s beard flows like silk past his iconic Green Dragon Crescent Blade, its scales etched hair-thin; Zhong Kui’s obsidian-encrusted sword wards off evil, his eyes aflame with judgment; the Three Stars—Fu (Fortune) cradling a Ru Yi scepter, Lu (Prosperity) unrolling a decree, Shou (Longevity) with a rotating peach of immortality; the Monkey King’s staff hides magnetic joints, toggling between battle-ready and meditative poses. Treated with ancient patination, robes ripple with mineral hues—cinnabar red, peacock blue, ink-black—aging into jade-green oxidation, as if time itself stamps each piece with divine approval.
From tea-table guardians to boardroom talismans, these sculptures channel cultural continuity. Detachable bases with sandalwood chambers, customizable engravings, and voice-activated lighting (chants illuminate hidden compartments) weave tradition into modern rituals.
