19th century beautifully carved ivory chinese figure of a man

Description

19th century beautifully carved ivory Chinese bearded figure of a man, having excellent colour and the lovely patina that only comes with age. He is Lu Tung-pin also known as Lu Dong-Bin, the leader of the 8 immortals of Taoist Chinese legend.
The costume is nicely draped, and he holds a magic sword in his hand.
There are the usual age hairlines present.
Size-6.75 inches high by 1 5/8 inches diameter.
Great colour, well carved, and in very good condition.
Please see complementary figure of a Chinese woman, Ho Hsien-Ku, also known as He XianGu, listed separately. She was rescued from a demon by Lu Tung-pin by using his magic sword. He then brought her into the group of immortals.
