A colorful and happy porcelain 19th century Chinese figure of a boy holding a ruyi scepter and pomegranate. It was used to hold incense sticks.

The molded figurine of a kneeling boy is glazed in bright and vivid polychrome enamels. I love the details of the face. His lips are a bright red, and eyes are filled with character. There is a hole in the cap on his head, two holes in the back, and his mouth is pierced.

The base is flat and unglazed. There are no marks or labels.
