Kwan Yu (Japanese: Kanu) the God of War, is a patron saint of many trade, and a tutelary deity of business in Chinese culture. He is revered as the God of Wealth, God of Literature; more importantly, as this ivory statue depicts here, his God of War divinity is holding the green dragon halberd, which is known to be 300 pounds in weight. Kwan Yu is dressed in full military armor. The ivory is heavy with an aged cream patina, there are no crack or hairline to the carving, and is in excellent condition.

Kwan Yu was a general under the posterior of Han dynasty (Three Kingdoms, 220-265 A.D.). He was executed at the age of 58; but later ennobled to the status of Duke, raised to the rank of prince in 1128, and finally awarded the title of emperor, saint or God in 1598. He is one of the most popular of Chinese divinities, worshipped in every house, and numerous temples were dedicated to him. The statue of Kwan Yu is placed in the first hall of a Buddhist monastery, and generally worshipped on the 15th day of the second moon, whereas military and civil officials worship Kwan Yu on the designated day of 13th on the fifth moon.
