Manufacturer: Japan
A beautifully articulated figure of a Chinese man seated cross-legged holding an ornate box or basket which is actually for incense burning.
The figure is 4 3/4" tall & 3 1/8" at the widest part of the base. The lid of the ornate box, decorated with a dragon, is removable & has 2 triangular vents. There are oriental writings or signatures on the sides. The man has a queue & wears the hat formerly worn by men. The robes flow in a realistic manner. The pillow or platform on which he is seated is decorated with the Greek key pattern. The bottom is covered with brown felt.
Tlthough it is a Chinese figure, on the lower back near the base is: "Made In Japan". We believe it dates well before WW II, c. 1920 - 30.
