Condition:
Small chip at the tip of the dragon's tail, minor loss of gilding on the items in hand. Otherwise, the figure itself is in excellent condition, including paint, enamel, and gilding. The figure is unusually finely executed, with particular attention given to the detailed elaboration of Nezha's body and the dragon's body. It is rare in the beauty of its execution. Judging by the bottom of the figure, we can assume that it was made in the early 19th century or even earlier.
