The figure is carved in pale green translucent stone with fine detailing to the facial features, hair, and flowing costume. Xi’er is shown in a dynamic, triumphant pose, characteristic of Cultural Revolution–era sculptural works. Base Includes the original decorative base. Please note: • Material: The base appears to be carved wood, designed to resemble dark rosewood. • Configuration: The base features three additional carved indentations that originally held companion figures.
