AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Splendid Chinese wooden carved figure, depicting a religious/Buddhist character, probably a monk or itinerant pilgrim.
The work presents a particularly rich and detailed craftsmanship:
- very expressive face with light-toned inlays for the eyes;
- broad removable cover/hat with a central element;
- rosary/prayer necklace;
- long fly-whisk;
- finely carved robes with numerous details;
- elaborate carved rocky base;
- wood in brown-reddish tones with a beautiful patina.
Height: about 35 cm.
The figure shows signs of age, small cracks and irregularities in the wood, visible in the photographs, coherent with the artisanal nature of the object. The lower part preserves a rougher finish and signs of the carving tools.
No signatures or visible hallmarks.
Collectible / Asian antique, particularly interesting for collectors of Chinese art, wooden sculpture and Buddhist art.
Careful packaging for shipping.
