Pre-1900 Rain God With Large Flat Face [SOLD]

This Rain God figurine departs from the standard ones in that his hands are on his hips instead of holding the sides of the pottery jar. Also, he has a rather large, flat face with long hair hanging down the sides of his head and hair draping over his forehead from his head. The rim of the jar is pinched on two sides. The figurine is in excellent condition.
