Hehe Grand Guardian 和合太保 holds a ruyi scepter.

Description

Four Field Marshals of the Daoist pantheon dressed in military garb are, from right to left, Tian 田元帥, Peng 彭元帥, Tao Yuanxin 陶元信, and Zhang Xiansheng 張賢聖. Hehe Grand Guardian 和合太保 and Heavenly Lord Xie Shirong 謝仕榮 in the upper row are each more simply dressed in a cap and robe tied at the waist.
A horizontally oriented ink drawing on aged paper depicts six celestial figures positioned on swirling clouds. On the left, three armored warriors carry spears and swords with flowing banners. To the right, two robed figures hold a curved staff and a tray. At the bottom right, a figure brandishes a sword and a flaming wheel. Small vertical inscriptions appear near each figure, and a red circular seal marks the bottom right corner.
