Her face is extremely empathetic with a slight smile as she tenderly grasping her child who resembles the infant Buddha.

This image from South China is Wen Chang, the Taoist God of Literature and many realms associated with higher intellect and education. He is a tall, extremely thin, surly, demon like image with ribs showing and facial distortions standing firmly on a dragon’s head among waves holding his belt. Chinese turned to him for wealth, health, long life, and good fortune. Unlike ancestor figures, this carving was probably displayed independently in a prominent place in the office of a Chinese official or scholar. Increasingly difficult to find, this piece would enhance any desk, library, study, or other location. It is in excellent condition with a warm patina, full of finely modeled details with a few surface scratches and paint losses consistent with its age.
