    My friend found this in a high end storage unit he won at auction. Iy's 16" tall & signed 2x on bottom - but there is also 4 X's & a number 6 (or 9?).
    Does anyone know who made this?
    Does it have any value? (I paid him $25 for it).
    Thank you for any help; I appreciate it.

    I think it's actually one of the "immortals." One of them has a big head like this guy.

    I love it. A fantastic looking piece. We have found a few at Auction, my husband loves these wooden oriental statues. Some we have gone on to sell at our own Booths.
