Item Details
This tiny fellow grabbed my heart.
Just 2 & 3/8" (60.32mm) from front to back and 1 & 5/8" (41.3mm) tall, he's a little gem of miniature-sterling sculpture.
There are marvelous details packed into this objet d'art: the rickshaw man's shirt buttons up; the top of his hat is patterned; the wheels of his rickshaw turn; the interior of the cab looks richly upholstered and comfy (plus it allows ample room for you to seat one of your own miniature dolls—they'll be grateful for the ride in style); the cab's roof is nicely draped with canvas; and the whole is short and narrow enough to slot nicely into a shadow box, even a type-setter's letter drawer stood on edge.
There is no doubt about this having been made in Asia, but it's not country-marked. Exports from China were stamped so, quite early on. This doesn't look to be ancient. Old, yes; there was plenty of patina to be cleaned and some of it remains. But the exact age and origin of this little guy remains a mystery.
Size: 2 & 3/8" (60mm) from front to back and 1 & 5/8" (41mm) tall. Man stands 1 & 3/8" (35mm) tall, the wheels are a tad over 3/4" (19mm) apart, and the mudguards over the wheels of the rickshaw are almost exactly an inch from edge to edge. Wheels are .75" (19mm) in diameter.
The only question: Where can one find a miniature Mata Hari with a tiny, extra-long cigarette holder?
Weight: 12.6 grams
