[QUOTE="2manybooks, post: 7735665, member: 8267"]Thank you, Aquitaine. Now that I can see it better, I am not even sure if it is intended to be a female or male figure. It appears to be a plant leaf that he/she is holding, and it is not the lotus that would be typical of Buddhist figures. I think this is most probably a decorative chinoiserie figure (a Western imitation of Chinese style).[/QUOTE]
