清十九世紀 壽山石藍采和立像

standing dressed in a loose fitting robe incised with lotus, holding a basket in his hands, his hairs tied up in two chignons, wood stand

There is a transversal cut across the legs, approximately 3.5 cm from the bottom, possibly indicating that the lower part of the robe and the legs are carved from a different section of stone and associated together with the upper section (showing on the illustration in the catalogue). The coloured pigments on the garments are somewhat rubbed or faded as visible on the catalogue photo. There is some expected surface wear including on the face of the figures, and some nicks or chips along the edges of the carving.
