Y - Yang Jian
Yang Jian is a figure in Chinese mythology.
I found this mid-century half-tone print of Yang Jian in an Italian frame in the Goodwill Outlet bins. It's not unusual for his third eye to be missing, as exports (the print isn't Italian, only the frame) "softened" the supernatural elements for the Western markets. Also, his celestial dog is often left out of these small prints, focus is on the central figure.
