le sage assis en position de délassement sur un socle rocailleux, vêtu d'une longue robe brodée et incrustée de turquoise, corail et perle, la main droite posée sur son lion couché à ses côtés, marque de sculpteur à deux caractères San Jun et une deuxième marque au dos (illisible)

Good condition with the exception of some wear consistent with age and light pitting on the surface. A few dents along the bottom edge of the robe in the back indicating that the rocky base may have been later added, or that the figure was detaching from it at some stage of its life.
