In the 16th century novel, Journey to the West, the Monkey King undertakes a long and dangerous journey to India as guardian of monk Tang Sanzang. Endowed with extraordinary skills, the Monkey King is armed with the Ruyi Jingu Bang - a magical staff that can transform in size, fly, and attack the enemies of its master. The staff was given to the Monkey King by Ao Guang, the Dragon King of the East Sea, with both depicted in exquisite detail upon this dynamic tribute.
