[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 2935846, member: 2844"]Lovely figurine, George and he looks like very good company. Love that face. I agree, he is most likely Cao Guojiu, and he is holding a Gui, a jade tablet which was like a passport to official meetings at the Imperial court. The Gui is one of the attributes of Cao Guojiu.
