About this seller
Private sellerProduct description
This set includes 12 vintage Asian figurines depicting Shaolin monks or apprentices. Each piece features a finely painted porcelain head, capturing unique and detailed facial expressions.
The figurines' bodies are made of fabric, dressed in traditional beige and black robes, complete with knotted belts. The combination of smooth porcelain and textured textile offers an interesting visual and tactile contrast. The names or inscriptions on the back of each garment add a touch of authenticity to this collectible set.
The overall condition of these decorative objects reflects their age while maintaining their structural and aesthetic integrity. The hand-painted details on the faces remain crisp and expressive.
These figurines fit perfectly into an Asian or eclectic style interior. They can be displayed together on a shelf or scattered throughout a room to create subtle and culturally significant focal points.
Seller's Note:
Set of 12 antique Asian figurines with hand-painted glazed porcelain heads and stuffed textile bodies.
The series features several different facial expressions and includes:
8 figurines marked "TAI",
2 figurines marked "MIN",
1 figurine marked "CIAN",
1 unmarked figurine. Decorative work inspired by Shaolin/Chinese martial arts, likely an export production from the 1970s-1980s.
The porcelain heads are in very good condition, with no damage.
The clothing shows some normal signs of wear and age, consistent with the age of the set.
A beautiful and unusual collector's set, both decorative and unique, comprising twelve figures with varied expressions. A charming lot, representative of Asian export productions inspired by the world of young monks and traditional martial arts.
