About the Item

This teak wood carving represents an essay made in the Chinese craft tradition at the end of the 19th century: circa 1890. Overall size 81x27x26 cm. Teak wood is known for its strength and durability. Its natural beauty makes it ideal for handcrafted creations of great aesthetic and functional value. It is a single block of finely carved wood, which highlights the character's features, such as the face where we can observe his expression well. In addition to the essay, the sculpture has other interesting details made with care and precision: a scroll held with both hands, a staff, and a bird on the essay's left. The state of preservation is good despite having some cracks due to the era. The right eye and two rows of teeth are missing.
