VINTAGE CARVED WOOD FIGURE WOMAN RIDING TIGER GLASS EYES Hand Carved Hardwood · Rosewood-Type Stain · Chinese Export Style · Probably Mid-20th Century. A hand-carved wooden figure group of a robed woman, hair in side buns, holding a large flower spray aloft as she rides a snarling tiger-like beast. The beast has inset glass eyes, white inset teeth and a curly foo-lion style tail, and stands on a pierced rockwork base carved with grasses. It appears to be a Chinese export carving. WHAT MAKES IT SPECIAL. Solid carved hardwood with a red-brown rosewood-type stain. Inset glass eyes and white inset teeth (tooth material untested). Pierced rockwork base; a few illegible incised characters underneath. Appears to be Chinese export, probably mid-20th century. 8.5″ tall x 7″ wide x 3.25 deep (depth estimated). A characterful centrepiece for an Asian carving collection or a curio shelf. CONDITION – Good vintage condition. Surface grime/dust in the deep carving. Dry, lighter patches on the finish, especially on the tiger&#######x27;s back and base edges; small rubs on high points. No breaks or missing pieces seen to the flower spray, ribbon, tail or legs. Visible joint/plug line and minor edge wear on the base underside. The photos show the exact item you will receive and are your best guide to condition.
