Item Description

A wonderfully detailed and intricately decorated early 19th century shell work figure.

Depicting a traditionally dressed Chinese gent, with his wispy beard, hat and holding his basket of his wears.

In fantastic condition and largely intact, with the odd missing shell, two panel sections of Abalone/Mother of pear missing from the plinth but overall its perfection considering its age and construction.

A truly rare piece of folk art, 23.5cm in height, 7cm in width, 6.5cm in depth
