Massive Chinese late Qing dynasty finely carved root wood figural group mounted on a tripod root wood stand featuring the immortal Li Tieguai (“Iron Crutch Li”) in a dancing pose at the center flanked by two immortals. Li Tieguai holds an unidentified object in one hand while the attendants each hold a peach. Arms, legs, some heads, and the figures themselves can all be removed from the stand to facilitate shipping. Circa 1900. 52” high. Good overall condition. Some age cracks are evident in the wood. One attendant is missing arm, there might be a part missing from the object in Li Teiguai’s hand, and there is some damage and an old repair to the toes on one of his feet. This sculptural carving is from an old Scottsdale, Arizona collection.
