Help with Terracotta? Figure of Chinese? Asian? Figure

Hello all,
I found this at my favorite thrift store Fri & got the manager to agree to hold it till Monday so I'd have a chance to ask you all what this is? How old it is? Where is it from?
And is that a scroll he's holding like a sword?!
Anything else you think about it would help me greatly.
Also, is the stamp by the artist? And finally, is this a factory piece for tourists or a art piece like I think?
I'm here hoping someone says, "Great find journey; get it first thing in the morning!"

Thank you everyone!!

 

Chinese sword umbrella

 

So is the guy with a crown royalty?

 

Might be a warrior or even tomb guardian

 

Yes.

The scroll is actually a parasol.
He is one of the four heavenly kings, guardians of the four directions. I only know his name in Sanskrit: Vaisravana. Maybe @shamster can tell us his Chinese name.

 

Could be this, if that’s a sword: one of them also holds an umbrella, but that short umbrella is not what I expected
