Carved wooden figurine of a Chinese god (of good fortune?); dark hardwood; seated male figure, bald, long earlobes; wears an open robe; robe & chest decorated with hammered in fine silver wire in Chinese patterns including a Chinese character on stomach. Mahogany/ teak?; some minor damage - chipped near right foot & chipped left big toe. Edwin Harris's inventory notes that donor details were lost for this (& A4150), so acquired some time pre-1928.
