This ancestor figure of a huntsman in the round is unique, standing on a domed pedestal, facing half right holding a flint lock, wearing a hunting coat, a two-level hat, traditional under- and outer-garment, and thick boots. As the noted scholar on Chinese wood carvings stated, a similar figure like this “unusual and extraordinary ancestral image of a huntsman with a flintlock gun, was the only ancestral image in his vast collection which “depicts the calling of the deceased.”
