China Very Old Hand-Carved Antique Stone Spirit Ancestor, Private Collection
Lifetime GuaranteeEmail to a friend
This is a rare and very unusual 20 inch tall spirit ancestor figure hand-carved from solid limestone. It dates to several hundreds of years ago to the Qing dynasty or earlier (1644-19111). We acquired it for our private collection during one of many buying trips in northeast China some 25 years ago. It was originally carved in China’s distant north- in a Provincial style- and we acquired straight from a collector from that region who we met in Beijing on one of our dozens of artifact buying trips throughout the mainland in the 1990s.
Our spirit ancestor was hand-carved and is virtually impossible to find today. It’s very distinct carving style and substantial weatherized surfaces along with its Provincial stylized head, makes it an unusual treasure to consider.
Hand-carved. Beautiful old patina- the darker head has been well rubbed from veneration.
Dimensions: 20 inches high and 8.5 inches wide and 6 inches depth
It would look perfect indoors or in your garden- a special work of art for the discerning collector or gardener. Its irreplaceable.
Only one.
