Unusual 19th Century Chinese root carving featuring the face of a gentleman (scholar?) nicely carved with two imaginative animals (monkey & dog?) revealed in the root at his feet.  Original applied toning to highlights shows some aging.  Original base appears to be attached to the root through the bottom.  A light signature, assumed to be the artist, can be seen (see photos).  Nice vintage piece that combines my favorite qualities of root carving which allows the viewer to appreciate the artist’s vision and at once the spirit of the root.  Measures 6 7/8 inches tall.
