Antique Artist Signed Resin Chinese Figure - Man with Lotus Flower

Description

Description
:
I acquired this piece in NJ.
The figure is over 17.5” tall and very ornate.
The material is heavy and is surely a resin product.
The base appears to be made from wood, but it could be also resin.
The piece is a rather austere man. There are lots of detail in his face and clothes.
The man is holding lotus flowers....one in bloom and one as a bud.
The lotus flower is a very auspicious symbol representing both purity and Buddha.
There are marks on both the piece and the bottom. Unfortunately, despite my research, I have been unable to read them.
I do think the piece is old, I'm estimating not later than 1920 or so.
Measures 17.5” high, 5” wide and about 4” deep.
Weighs 4.5 pounds
Condition
:
There are two pieces on the robe in the front that has a missing piece. Please do so close-up photos.
Please review the photos.
