Introduction
This is a beautifully carved Chinese hardwood figure depicting a travelling man. Standing approximately 8 inches tall, the figure is meticulously detailed, showcasing a man in traditional attire, complete with a hat and carrying a walking stick. The carving demonstrates skilled craftsmanship, with attention paid to the folds of the clothing and the facial features, suggesting a piece created with artistic intent and likely dating from the mid-20th century or earlier.
Condition
The figure appears to be in good condition for its age, with expected wear consistent with age and handling. There are no significant cracks or repairs visible, though minor surface wear and patina are present, adding to its antique character. This piece would be a desirable addition to a collection of Asian art, antique sculptures, or carved wooden figures, appealing to collectors and enthusiasts alike.
