Carved bamboo “Louhan”, Qing dynasty

Carved wooden figure. It represents “Luohuan” seated, with one leg bent and the other resting under the body, on which rests the outstretched left hand. His face shows an expression of serenity, with open eyes, relaxed mouth and long ears.

His corpulent body is wrapped in a long monastic robe that opens at the chest, all represented with great detail and naturalness.  Next to him, lying on its four legs, is a Foo dog, with its head slightly raised and gazing straight ahead. 

With carved wooden base.
