This was purchased from an estate sale and he purchased it in china at least 40 years ago. It sounds like metal but looks like stone or terra cotta. Can anyone give me any info on what it might be? Is that a baoding ball it is holding? Could this be something old or does it look more like it's a replica for tourist trade? No markings on it. Does it mean anything that he's smiling? Thank you.
