Chinese Figure with Child Figurine

This is a red resin or lacquered wood figurine depicting a bearded male figure, likely an immortal or deity, holding a small child. The figurine stands upright on a circular, ornate base. The primary color is a deep, rich reddish-brown, possibly mimicking cinnabar or finely aged lacquered wood. The figure is intricately carved, showcasing fine details such as the long flowing beard and hair of the man, the folds of his robes, and the distinct features of the child, including its small, round face and head. The man wears a traditional cap or head covering. The craftsmanship suggests a cast rather than hand-carved piece, due to the apparent uniformity of the finish and the material's properties, though fine mold lines are not readily apparent from the image. There are subtle variations in the red tone, creating depth. The surface appears smooth with a slight sheen, indicative of a polished finish. No obvious significant damage like chips or cracks are visible, though subtle wear and minor scuffs consistent with age or handling are possible but indistinct due to image resolution. The base features a raised, undulating, vine-like or floral pattern, adding to its decorative appeal. The overall quality appears good, with clear delineation of features.
