Hello,

Your item is a Carved Wooden Asian Woman Statue, likely depicting a traditional figure from Chinese or Southeast Asian art. Based on its stylistic elements, including the elaborate headdress, flowing robes, and remnants of polychrome paint, this sculpture appears to be an antique religious or decorative carving, possibly from the late Qing Dynasty (19th century) or early 20th century. The pose and detailing suggest it could represent a bodhisattva, such as Guanyin, or a noblewoman from a Buddhist or Taoist tradition.

The wooden construction and hand-applied pigments indicate that it was originally a vibrant and finely detailed piece, though much of the paint has faded due to age and exposure. The wear and patina are consistent with natural aging, and the size (25” tall and 11” wide) suggests it may have been part of a household shrine or temple setting. Similar statues from this period and style often show regional carving techniques, particularly from Southern China, Vietnam, or Thailand.
