A MING-STYLE POLYCHROME WOOD FIGURE OF AN OFFICIAL, QING DYNASTY China, 18th century. Well carved, the figure is shown seated on the edge of a small bench with clawed feet, each resting atop a stylized toad, the ensemble set on a rectangular base. The official sits with legs apart, holding a scepter and a yuanbao in his hands. He is dressed in voluminous, loose-fitting robes, lacquered in red and blue tones and decorated with gilt foliate patterns, the pleated folds gathering naturally between his legs. The rounded face conveys a calm, serene expression, with age lines on the forehead, almond-shaped eyes, a broad nose, and full lips forming a gentle smile. The head is surmounted by distinctive official headgear, indicating his rank. Dimensions: Height 39.6 cm
