Country Group: The Himalayas (Tibet, Nepal, Mongolia and Other)
Fabulous antique Tibeto-Chinese polychrome gilded bronze figure. Most of, if not the entire figure was painted, possibly at the time of manufacture. The actual skin of the figure appears to have been painted white, so this may be a White Tara. Interestingly, the finely worked detachable flowers screw in to place- a feature I've not seen on other fine early 20th century bronzes of this type. The back of the flowers are also nicely finished. Sits 6 1/8 inches tall. Exceptional example of its type.
