Notes: This is well carved miniature Songye figure. The
patina is deep and varied from use and handling. This was
most likely a small personal protective figure. There is a light
area below the chest extending around the back; something was
attached to this figure a long time ago or this was attached to
another larger figure. Two burned in fetishes charges can be
seen on the stomach and head.
