Pre-1900 Rain God Figurine [SOLD]

This indeed is an unusual Rain God figurine. He has sculpted hair, his right hand is on his stomach (God of Stomach Ache), his left hand is behind his back (most unusual) and the rim of the jar is rolled in. He is totally unpainted. There is a little abrasion on his nose and a small chunk of clay is missing from his hair; otherwise he is in very good condition.
