Title: Republican Li Tieguai statue?

Thoughts on this one?  Seems rather crude, but it does have the canvas pattern impression on the bottom.

Not sure whom it depicts. The mark says made by Zhou He-xing (He not 100% clear, thus an assumption) With that period would be republic period.

Thanks.  Searching 周和兴, it looks like someone on cang.com has two of them that look very similar, but they are painted better with better colors.

Yeah, it looks more like someone with little experience did it. An apprentice of the workshop, perhaps? They would use the mark even if it was not made by the master craftsman himself.
