[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 492627, member: 2844"]It is a gorgeous little figurine, Jal. I see ivory-like lines in this part: [ATTACH=full]162836[/ATTACH] My guess is a 19th century carving of a Tang dynasty musician on horseback. The style of the horse and the clothing are of the Tang period, the figurine is obviously not Tang, but is inspired by the period. About the figure: "The musician is playing a [I]paixiao[/I] panpipe representing one member of a marching ensemble called [I]guchuiyue[/I] ("drumming-and-blowing music"), which included panpipes, horns and drums."
