A DEHUA FIGURE OF A LOHAN RISING FROM CLOUDS QING DYNASTY, 19TH CENTURY

modelled as a seated lohan with heavy brows and beard, his well-combed hair adorned with a headband, wearing a flowing robe open at the chest, his mouth open to reveal his teeth and tongue, his feet shod in sandals, elevated on pillows of swirling clouds

The figure is in good condition except for the stick on his left hand broken with minute chip to his right thumb. The bottle on his right hand has its neck seperated, which seems to be a flaw happened during the firing. The stained hairline on his arm appears to be a firing flaw too. There is glaze crackle to back of the lohan, and a few short natural firing cracks on the 'cloud' stand.
