Kuan U, the Tiger General of Shu seated on his throne. Since the deification of Kuan U in the Sui Dynasty, statues of his son and of his aide-de-camp often appear alongside that of his own.

Whereas in iconography, Kuan U is traditionally portrayed as a red-faced warrior with a long lush beard (fig.), his son Kuan Ping (fig.) is depicted with a face painted white, whereas that of his aid Chou Tsang (fig.) is black (fig.).
