Subject:Sancai type figure of Shou lao
Posted By: Sally Tue, Nov 12, 2019 IP: 90.252.74.180
Hi, I posted this before but thought I 'd try again. I'd be interested to know how old this might be or if anyone recognises the mark or inscription. I don't think it can be any earlier than 19th but could be much more recent than that. Any thoughts?
It's roughly 16" / 40 cm high.

With regards,
