[QUOTE="georgeingraham, post: 4332067, member: 6261"]Would like very much to learn about this fellow. I think the clue is in his headwrap which seems unusual and has been hard to find a match for. After searching the best I can online and in books for similar head wraps I keep coming back to those worn by the Boxers. An anti-imperialist patriot movement/militia during the late (1899-1901) Qing dynasty. I am guessing the decorative pin probably represents some some kind of rank or official position, but this ceramic Shiwan bust was sculpted post 1930, probably mid century. Any way, I am at a loss about this fellow, would like to try and learn about him, so asking for help.
