Description
It is a chinese man with longish hair pulled back in two pony tails at the side of the head area. The chinese man (interesting face) is siting on a bench like object holding a wicker basket to one side with both hands. On top of a wicker basket there appears to be fruit or vegatables sitting on top of the basket's flat area. The figurine is painted which appears to be the original paint in its "original condition." My clay figurine appears to be very old, unmolesteded and in mint condition.
This clay figurine was given to my late Aunt in 1957 by her lady friend that was a "missionary" in China during the 1920's. My Aunt passed this item on to me.
