About the Item

Carved from a substantial piece of teak, this masterpiece is nearly 3 and a half feet tall. It features an elderly, bearded man carrying a bowl of food, possibly noodles, with two mats tied to his back. He wears a hat but no shoes. The mood is somber as his expression is weary and his shoulders hunched.
