Q: Can you tell me if it is Chinese
and from the 19th century? It is approx 12" x 8 1/4
" at the widest point. Pauline, 2-27-11

A:
19th or 20th China seems plausible to me. More importantly, this
is fine art rather than folk art, a piece of wall sculpture by a
highly talented carver. It's great the way he combines humorous
stylization with anatomic correctness. What a wonderful piece
you found!
