[QUOTE="2manybooks, post: 4559334, member: 8267"]It looks like the right arm on your figure has been repaired/replaced. He is seated on a chair and in a pose resembling carvings of Chinese emperors. He may be a depiction of Fuxi, the "first man"in Chinese mythology. He often seems to be shown dressed in animal skins and/or garments made of leaves, and has horns (I have not found an explanation of this feature in English yet). He is credited with bestowing on humans many basic inventions and techniques, including the foundations of the I Ching.
