A 18th-19th century Chinese Folk Art well-carved wooden poly-chromed figure. Carved from a single piece of wood, Chinese warrior figure has a prayer opening in back for prayers, blessings and fortune. His right foot sits atop an animal, probably a dog and part of his foot is missing. This type of wood carving was probably used in a Joss House, or Temple. The statue has a carved opening in the back with cover for placement of prayers. The cover is intact and fits snugly, therefore we haven't tried to open it. The piece is intact with no cracks and minimal damage. The raised right hand has a small hole which probably held a warrior's spear-like bladed weapon (see photo). Good condition as an artifact exhibiting its age, history and patina. Very old, we haven't seen one in better condition.
