Tibet, circa 1900 or earlier. The plaque of the sculpture was detached in the past; the rim of the base shows several mounting holes. (see photo) the base shows traces of oxidation and small holes on its top surface; fortunately, the most visible signs of wear are located on the figure’s elbow, so they are not visible when viewed from the front. H 18 cm x w 14 cm x d 11 cm weight 1060 grams. Sold with certificate of provenance. See less
