Country Group: The Himalayas (Tibet, Nepal, Mongolia and Other)
Wonderful 19thC tantric Hindu bronze with lead base. Animated and very expressive. Extremely heavy. Stands proudly at 13.25" tall, Base is 3.5" x 6.5". Possibly originally part of a large elaborate oil lamp, and converted to current form by adding lead base and elaborate back-plate. Either Nepalese or Mix of Indian figure and Nepalese back-plate. Was modified in mid 20thC together with item 6610 to create a set, though each being sold separately(see photo of both items side by side). Incredible personality!
