East Asian Mythological Figure Riding a Crane Figurine

This intricately carved figurine depicts a jubilant East Asian mythological figure, possibly a deity or immortal, riding atop a stylized crane in flight. The figure is shown with an expressive, smiling face, wearing elaborate armor or ceremonial robes in shades of green, brown, and gold, with significant detailing on the patterns and borders. A distinct headpiece with earflaps and a topknot is also visible. One arm is raised in a dynamic pose, suggesting movement or a joyous greeting. The crane itself is highly detailed, with individual feathers painstakingly rendered across its body and wings, primarily in shades of off-white, cream, and darker brown, providing a striking contrast to the rider. The beak of the crane is long and slender, colored in a light green or teal hue. The craftsmanship indicates a possible resin, composite, or carved bone/ivory material, though resin seems more likely given the coloration. The piece is mounted on a clear, rectangular acrylic or plastic base, which serves to elevate and stabilize the sculpture. The overall condition appears excellent, with no visible chips, cracks, or significant wear, suggesting it has been well-preserved. There are no discernible maker's marks or signatures visible in the provided image. The style points towards a decorative art piece, possibly from the late 20th or early 21st century, emulating traditional East Asian artistic themes.
