Tea Spoon With Buddha Bust China, Late 19th Century

TEA SPOON WITH BUDDHA BUST
China, late 19th century
Bone
Length 12.6 cm

Sculpture on bone, depicting the bust of Buddha on the handle. The expression is joyful; the mouth is smiling and the crinkled eyes confirm the joy; on each side, the ears have hanging lobes. A cap covers the top of the skull.
He appears to be covered on the back by a cape that forms the spoon bowl at the front.

Very good condition.
