Flying scarves on a lady indicates by tradition that she is a heavenly being, an immortal, or a fairy. By her hairstyle and traditional clothing - flowing tunic, bellowing sleeves and twirling skirts, the lady could be an attendant to the Queen Mother of the West of Daoist folklores. She would be holding a basket of flowers, but the artist carver took liberty and gave her a basket turned upside down with flowers falling in the same sweeping motion as her sleeves. It is quite a dramatic pose. The stone itself is pure "white" and she stands on a light grey color base.
Date: post 1950.
Dimension: 11 inches
Condition: in general good condition, there is a small restoration on one of the corners of the base.
