He holds in his hand a lotus bud, robes draping his arms, and a staff held in one hand. He rests upon a deep brown soapstone base. The soapstone was mounted into a brass lamp base near/around 1920. Stamped into brass on inside is CHINA, giving us a sense of age of when this piece was converted to a lamp. It is a wonderful piece of art and a splendid addition to decor bringing old world charm.

Nice condition, soapstone doesn’t have any damage. The brass base was made to fit the base. No broken pieces to soapstone. Soapstone piece is a little loose from base.
