Message This figurine is part of a grouping of four, all about 7.5 inches high, with the custom made wood stands. I'm wondering about age and if this is jade, scratch test is positive. These stands with wire decorations were made for export from China, early to mid-20th century IMHO. The stance of the man is odd, holding the end of his short goatee. The carving seems a little amateurish for the size. There is a large whitish inclusion on the back, as you can see.
