what you are all looking at,..is a few broken pieces of a a much larger,jigsaw puzzle...which will remain a jigsaw puzzle...and ,an incomplete jigsaw puzzle is only fit for the bin....

Thanks for your input, it may not have any value that is fine.  As I said I paid $5 for it so I am not that worried. If nothing else it is a conversation piece.  I wont be throwing it away though.

it is the piece that I said appears to go with it.  It does not fit perfectly, and it was just in the general vicinity of the piece at the auction so I figured it went with it.  Still it is missing something, like a bigger piece that went behind the red disk.

My wife is familiar with thai buddist stuff, and she does not think it is Thai.

It is wood and very delicate. I broke a little peice of the carving when I picked it up yesterday, the base was perfect before that.

I am in Columbus Ohio.  I went to an estate sale and bought this along with other antiques and asian collectables.  I am hesitant to tell you what I paid because you will think it is a fake. There was a tremendous amount of stuff to auction so there were three auctions going on one for jewelry, one for "high end glass and Jade" and another roaming the house auctioning everything else.  I was with everything else, my wife was at the jade table.  I got this with a buch of other stuff I think I paid $5.  There was not many in my crowd interested in asian pieces.   We paid $10 for the immortal statue I put up and it has to be worth more than that.  When the jade sold half or more of the crowd left.

I have nothing on this. I can find nothing on it?  I am not even sure if it is a shrine or building or what. I have a round, red painted piece that appears to go with it, but it appears to be missing some pieces. It is a little dirty, but is otherwise excelent condition.

Antique Questions Forum / Chinese Immortal

« on: May 20, 2013, 04:04:08 pm »

I know this is a Chinese immortal, it is wood, and about 20" tall.

I would like to know how old it is, what does the tag on the bottom say about the piece, what kind of wood is it, what is the hole in top of the statue for, and how much is it worth?  The only blemish is small chip in the back about half the size of a penny.

Thanks in advance
