- Lot Description
East Asia, China, Qing Dynasty, ca. late 18th to early 19th century CE. A stunning hand-carved wooden sculpture of a slender man draped in a large-sleeved and hooded robe embellished with a floral motif of inlaid brass, standing tall on an intricately carved hollow base. His long straight beard and Fu Manchu mustache fall down his chest beneath a small seated praying Budai (Chinese Buddha) and a 'v' shaped tool, maybe a kama, which he bears in his hands. Heavy lidded eyes with additional bronze inlays peer out from his round face above a wide flat nose and small bowed lips - all topped by a small hat. This figure is likely a representation of Caishen, the Chinese god of wealth or good fortune, who is often invoked during Chinese New Year celebrations. Statues similar to this one are frequently kept in Chinese homes to bring good luck. A skillfully carved sculpture and promising token for future prosperity! Size: 4" L x 3" W x 13.75" H (10.2 cm x 7.6 cm x 34.9 cm)
Provenance: ex-Barakat Gallery, Beverly Hills, California, USA, acquired prior to 2000
