A Chinese export silver figurine, finely modelled as a traditional porter carrying goods with a shoulder pole. The figure is dressed in Qing-style attire with a hat, balancing a round basket on one side and a hexagonal tray on the other, all crafted in miniature detail. The figure stands on a square platform base, well-balanced and proportioned. These handcrafted silver figures were popular in the late Qing and early Republic periods, often produced for export markets in Europe and North America. The piece reflects the artistry of Chinese silversmiths and the cultural heritage of traditional livelihoods.
