Dehua Blanc De Chine Huntress (female Archer), C.1890

White Dehua blanc de Chine figure of a female archer on a rocky base. Broad-brim hat, light cloak, applied pendants; bow in hand, quiver behind, sword at the side. Female reading from the modelling and proportions. Dehua workshops, late Qing/early Republic. Base underside largely closed with a small vent; no marks. The sword is a customary accessory on Dehua “warrior” types, not literal hunting gear.                                                                                                      Sound late Qing/early Republic example, desirable for blanc de Chine and “women warriors” sub-collections.
