Who does this figurine depict?

There was a yard sale day in my neighborhood and my son took a figurine of a Buddhist monk from a free pile (pictures: 1, 2). Is this someone in particular or just a generic merry monk?

Best answer: I think you've got yourself a Jigong

(I searched monk + gourd + fan)
