This is a small, antique bronze sculpture depicting a figure in prayer on a marble base. The figure is shown standing on what appears to be a small prayer rug, with hands raised in supplication. The style suggests an Orientalist influence, popular in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
The sculpture exhibits a rich, aged patina, highlighting the details of the flowing robes and the small minbar-like structure next to the figure.
The white marble base provides a stark contrast to the dark bronze, a common presentation for such statuettes.

Measures 5 1/2" diameter and 8 1/4" tall. See less
