A carved wood statue depicting a seated figure, likely an official or deity, consistent with 19th Century Chinese Polychrome and Gilt Ancestor Figure styles identified in market research. The figure is shown seated on a high rectangular throne or plinth, wearing an elaborate robe featuring remnants of gold gilding over red and green coloring, and a peaked hat. The figure’s face is painted a vivid red, and he holds a dark plume or feather fan in his right hand. The reverse of the wooden plinth features a black ink marking of the Chinese character ‘天’ (tiān), indicating a likely celestial or religious association.
