WOW- superb 19th century Nepalese standing Vishnue protected by an amazing 7 headed Naga. From a German collection-was sold by the renowned German Auction House Nagel in 1997. Loss of part of one attribute and a finger or two on one hand. One attribute is bent. Also, he needs a small shim under his feet so that he does not lean forward.

Check out the Nagas- each of the seven has a nice face. The chocolate brown patina complements the overall impression. The back of the sculpture is as beautiful as the front. I have never seen such a beautiful Nepalese Naga- ever. The casting and sculpting are a big step up from the vast majority of Nepalese bronzes. Large at 11.5" tall, base is 5.25" x 3". Strong spiritual feeling to the beautiful face.
