    Description

    I had acquired this at auction.  While I did have a corner of my old house with a number of Asian pieces, I'm moving so I need to reduce my collection.
    I believe this soapstone piece is a Shaolau...a old wise man.  He carries a peach, a sign of good luck and a staff.
    The figure measures 7-1/4"  and is is 3-1/2" at the widest.
    I don't know the age.
    Regarding condition, I'll note below:
    The bottom and the back have small wholes, probably where the piece was attached to a stand.
    There are some white marks but the detail stills looks sharp.
    The back has scratching, especially around where the whole is.
    I have not try applying any polish to the stone to reduce the appearance of scratching as I like it the way it is.
    I am not an expert so please feel free to ask questions.
