Country Group: The Himalayas (Tibet, Nepal, Mongolia and Other)

Item id: 1070

Extraordinary India/Nepal head, unlike any other I have seen. Thickly cast in a lost wax method, which is not how Buddha masks are typically made. The lips are copper and the eyes are silver. I bought him quickly, believing he was not very old, As I studied him I have come to believe that he has age to him(look at the back and at the oxidation, and step back and get the overall feel). I do not know how to give him a precise date. He is very large at a full 14.5 inches tall by 7.75 inches wide- he is larger than life. He is quite heavy at 8.5 pounds. He has an incredible countenance. Special.
