This is a sculpture called 'Taoist Immortal He Xiangu', made in the 1700s during the Qing Dynasty of China (1644-1911). This sculpture is made of boxwood, with a base of colored ivory and an overall height of 13.5 centimeters. He Xiangu is one of the Eight Immortals of Taoism. It is said that she was a real person during the Tang Dynasty, originally named He Qiong. In this exquisite carving, He Xiangu sits calmly on a twisted and multi jointed raft surrounded by green ivory waves. In front of her was a bamboo basket filled with items related to Taoist immortality, while she held a branch of Ganoderma lucidum.
