Figure of Daoist Immortal He Xiangu
A carved boxwood figure of a seated, robed immortal rests on a sculpted lotus-leaf base, with a small woven basket and a long stem beside the figure. The hair is gathered in a high topknot, the drapery is finely incised, and the polished surface glows warm brown.
Look closer: A small woven basket with a long stem or ladle rests beside the figure, finely carved.
