This is lovely miniature boxwood carving of a lohan riding on a horse. It is possible that it was intended for use as a Chinese toggle – there are holes on the two ends –but we have tried to push a needle through from each end and it gets stuck about half way through – probably some old clogged dirt. The carving is quite detailed and the lohan’s face and the horse’s head are very realistic. The piece measures 1 5/8" long by 3/4" wide by 5/8" thick. It has superb patina with a glowing sheen. As you will see in the photos, there are long cracks in the piece - however, they are clearly age cracks and completely stable. We date the piece to the late 18th to early 19th century, Qing dynasty.
