Jain figure. 18th-19th Century or earlier. 8" tall. I purchased this from an estate - at the time I did not know that it had silver and copper inlay, as the entire piece was nearly black. The eyes can now see - there is still more to be brought out of this piece with a cleaning (or not - I leave this to buyer's discretion).Authentic pieces of this type are now few and far between. Wonderfully expressive, with loads of writing on the back and bottom
