    I was wondering if anyone can help me identify this statue. I don't have much or any real information on it, aside from the images. I've been told it is a Japanese warrior, though in my own research it seems more likely it may be the Chinese god of longevity or Shou Lao/Shou Lao Xing. I have spent a lot of time researching and can find nothing in a similar style. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

      Thanks...

      Swampdogg... I think so, but I can't tell what the 1st letter is after the 24K and I was debating between F & P for the 2nd. Does G.F. stand for something?

      I just thought K24 G.P. is likely 24K Gold Plated.

      When i enter Japanese Kutani god of wisdom, I get figures that have the same kind of head/skull like your item, G.F. means gold filled on items, hope this will help you.
