This handcrafted Chinese "Mudman" figurine depicts a serene elder seated on a rock, holding his beard in contemplation. Made of unglazed pottery, this traditional Shiwan ware figure is a fine example of early 20th-century folk ceramic art. The muted earth-toned clay with subtle glaze accents is typical of Shiwan ware from the Guangdong region of China.
