The stunning stoneware figure of a Daoist Deity boasts vibrant green, turquoise, purple, and ochre glazes in porcelain and polychrome enamels, crafted during the 16th century under the Ming Dynasty, currently showcased at the British Museum. This remarkable artifact was possibly created in Shanxi. Its original dimensions are impressive: 123.3cm (48.5 in) in height, 78cm (30.7 in) in width, and 55cm (21.7 in) in depth. This breathtaking object is part of the "Scan The World" initiative, a non-profit endeavor introduced by MyMiniFactory.
