This is an impressive lost-wax cast bronze garden figure depicting an itinerant Asian peasant or traveler in a traditional conical rice hat (kasa or dou lì) carrying a yoke or staff over his shoulder. The monumental scale and the rich, naturalistic verdigris patina suggest this piece was intended for outdoor use, perhaps as a focal point in an Asian-style garden or landscape.
The figure is realistically rendered, showing an older, bearded man with a sense of weariness or reflection, dressed in flowing robes tied at the waist, and standing barefoot on a low, ornate base decorated with lotus-style petals and leaves. The casting quality is good, capturing the folds of the clothing and the texture of the beard.
The Verdi green condition is a result of outside use and age. Great focal point for your garden or mediation area.

There are no obvious breaks, though surface dirt and some small detritus are present in the crevices, consistent with its likely use as a garden ornament. The item appears to be in overall good structural condition. less
