AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Fascinating vintage set composed of four small Chinese sculptures finely hand-carved, depicting figures of the Eastern tradition and mythology. The lot includes three statuettes carved in hardstone (turquoise/chrysoprase-type) with beautiful blue-green shades, complete with their iconic carved wooden pedestals, and a delicate very small female figure carved in red/orange coral.
The sculptures feature classic subjects rich in charm: a sage/immortal with scepter and boy, a musician playing the Guqin (Chinese zither) and the famous Laughing Buddha (Budai) with a straw hat on his back.
The set is kept in its original partitioned box lined with brocade fabric with traditional geometric motifs.
