Asian man- candle holder

Hi all,I was given this as a freebie when I bought a lamp. It’s crudely made steel and quite heavy (over 2kg) Sprayed a brass colour. Base seems to be marble (which is cool) It’s 22cm high and base is 14cm wide. I know it’s just decor but will still appreciate any comments. Wondering when it was maybe 80’s? Probably can still buy it today. But couldn’t find it online (probably using the wrong search keywords)Thanks

 

The fellow would be Chinese, judging by the queue.

 

Must be. Thanks for the reply.

 

Will search again using ‘Chinese man candle holder’

 

I'm not seeing evidence of sprayed colour...it sure looks like brass to me. A magnet will quickly tell the truth about it.

 

Thanks. It does really look like brass on the photos. I double checked and a magnet sticks

 

Obviously based on these I would think:

Just for the record, where did you place the magnet? As there is quite possibly an iron or steel screw down the centre.

 

Noted and good point. I did check on a few places (arms,legs and basket)
