Hiii, i have recently got this chinese figure consisting of eight characters. it has something written in chinese language and has three stamped marks on the bottom of it. The bottom has one hole...please help me to identify the makers and era if possible....any idea about its subject will be appreciated...in the next post i will send the some pictures highlighting the inscription(or letter). thanx

This grouping probably represents the Daoist deities called the 'Eight Immortals' who are described at length by an article under their name at wikipedia.com. The factory or artisan stamp on the base isn't clear enough to discern the characters. You might try again, taking a time exposure with camera on a tripod and lighting the stamps from a side angle to improve clarity.

Bill,

Thanks a lot for ur information...here are the better pictures of the stamp...hope this time it will help to get any idea about its maker and date,

Best Regards

I gave it my best shot, but the resolution and focus is not sharp enough for me to discern the strokes in the characters accurately. Perhaps one of our Chinese members will be able to recognize it.
Best regards,
Bill H.
