About the Item

Superb old Taoist statue in polychrome and gold lacquered wood, representing a Dignitary seated on a throne, armchair. It is carved from solid wood, with hand-painted details and embossed ornaments on clothing. He dressed in a long robe and wearing a cap. The Ancestors of China are also called Chinese Dignitaries. In the Qing era, it was common for families to have portraits of the oldest people in the family painted or carved on ancestral reliquary statues. This votive statuette was therefore intended for a domestic altar: it represents an ancestor in a seated position. Today we still find a space reserved for ancestors on the family altar in many homes. Ancestor worship in China is a tradition made up of a mixture of folk religion, Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism China - Qing Dynasty - XIXth
