Maomao Seated on a Lacquered Chest Figure – Apothecary Diaries

Surrounded by dried jujubes and a mortar, Maomao looks right at home: this is her world, not the silk-draped banquets. This seated Maomao figure perches her on the edge of a carved chest with her legs hanging free, the plain apothecary waiting patiently while the remedies dry.

Maomao perched among her remedies

She sits straight-backed with both hands resting on the edge beside her, wearing her jade green wrap top with pale green cuffs and a long maroon skirt that falls over her knees to her dark slippers. A blue ribbon holds up her hair and two braids hang over her shoulders, tied with small beads. Her face is calm and direct, the look of someone who grew up grinding medicine for her adoptive father Luomen and still trusts herbs more than people.

Set her on a shelf edge

Her hanging legs mean she looks best on the lip of a bookshelf, a jewellery box or a stack of books, ideally near your tea or spice jars for the full apothecary mood. She suits a fan who prefers Maomao in her working clothes, and she makes a calm, thoughtful gift.
