Physical DescriptionA group of three glazed Chinese stoneware figurines -- a general, his son, and a servant -- mounted on a wooden base that does not appear to be original to the figurines. The standing figure on the left is holding a bag; the seated man in the center is cupping one hand; the standing figure on the right is holding a long, sharp weapon. The names of the figurines are typed and pasted on a label on the underside of the green felt-lined base, from left to right: Quan Ping, Quan Ye, and Joe Chang. Also on the underside of the base: From Ko Man Wai.
Historical NoteThis grouping of Chinese stoneware figurines is on display in FDR'S PRIVATE STUDY in the Permanent Exhibit.
