This clay figurine of a carpenter was presented to the donor by the Tianjin University Cancer Center in Tianjin, China. The figurine is a beautiful example of Ni Ren Zhang folkart, a style of figurine making that is native to Tianjin and was pioneered by the artist Zhang Mingshan during the Qing dynasty. The craft continues in the city today, and the figurines are famous all over China for being extremely lifelike. This would make a memorable gift for any China lover or art collector.
