老員外木雕|The wood carving depicts an elderly and well-rounded landlord standing on the ground, wearing silk clothes and holding a sack of money, retains natural wood color, grain, and patina.|||Height: 6 in (15.2 cm) Length: 3 in (7.6 cm)|原指正員以外的官員，後世因此類官職可以捐買，故富豪皆稱員外。明朝以後員外郎成爲一種閑職，不再與科舉相關，而漸漸和財富聯繫在了一起，只要肯花銀子，地主和商人都可以捐一個員外官職來做。此件木雕人物造型大腹便便，臉部刻畫細緻，把員外的整個精神風貌表現的淋漓盡致。
