Country Group: The Himalayas (Tibet, Nepal, Mongolia and Other)
15th-17thC Tibet/Bhutan Monk. Unusual type of exceptional quality. Based on related examples I’ve seen, it maybe a portrait sculpture of a specific person-the face looks a bit different than it would have looked originally due to the wear to the features, such as the lips, the nose and the eyebrows -l take time to enlarge the photos andook at the robes and how they fall around his sides. The special quality comes from a combination of the sculpting, the casting, and finishing all coming together to create this beautiful sculpture. The surface has a buttery soft quality to it. ( 4.5"H x 4"W x 2.75"D ) - 525g. The dating is an educated guest, it could be a century or two earlier or later. It is certainly at least a few hundred years old..
