Daishōgun (Great General)

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Wooden sculpture of a seated figure titled "Daishōgun (Great General)" by an unknown artist. The figure has a stern expression with furrowed brows, a prominent nose, and a small mouth. It wears a helmet with a short fin on top and long hair framing the face. The figure's armor consists of a large collar, shoulder guards, and a belt around the waist. The wood is weathered and worn, with remnants of red and gold paint visible. The sculpture sits on a flat base with the legs apart. The background transitions from dark gray at the top to light gray at the bottom.
