EXP Handmade Chinese Warrior Scroll Wall Art Painting

Experience the rich traditional mythology of the mysterious Orient with this powerful scroll hand-painted by skilled Asian artisans. This striking work depicts Chinese folk hero Zhong Kui, a guardian spirit said to banish demons and other evil-doers as he travels through the rolling countryside, one hand vigilantly placed upon his sword. The bold crimsons of Zhong Kui's flowing robes are not only an eye-catching complement to the rich cream, steel blue and charcoal grey tones of this piece, but also represent luck and prosperity. Zhong Kui's strident pose, the bristly texture of his unruly beard and the broadness of his powerful stature showcase this warrior's strength and courage. Behind him, the blossoming tips of plum branches, an emblem of rebirth and renewal, can be seen flowering brightly over the hilltops. This exquisite work is bordered by taupe brocade paper that is textured with ornate floral patterning for a truly Eastern flavor. The hand-carved roll bar of black lacquered wood ensures this painting will lie flat against any vertical surface. A sturdy, silky ribbon affixed to the top edge provides convenient hanging and doubles as a tie when the scroll is closed. This masterpiece is delivered in an attractive and protective gift box that prevents scratching or marring. This incredible piece is a wonderfully simple way to transform any room into an elegant Oriental oasis. Measures 32 inches high x 12 inches wide.
