East Asia, China, Qing Dynasty, ca. 1700 - 1899 CE. A standing figure constructed from lacquered and gilt papier-mache and canvas, depicting a robed attendant holding a peach in one hand while the other forms a socket intended to receive a separate attribute. The figure's stylized hair buns, calm expression, and flowing robes reflect traditional Chinese sculptural conventions associated with temple or domestic altar figures. Size: 14" W x 36" H (35.6 cm x 91.4 cm); gold quality: 22% to 31% (equivalent to 5K+ to 7K+)
