Country Group: The Himalayas (Tibet, Nepal, Mongolia and Other)
An antique Mongolian paper-mache Bodhisattva. Beautifully painted in vivid colors. In the 1990s when Mongolia was first opening to the west, it was possible to find statues like this. Now, if I find them at all, they are extremely worn or have damage or repairs, or not of the first quality. This piece was collected over 20 years ago by an Australian collector who focused his collection on Mongolian sculpture. It is the best of it's type that I have in a very long time. Sits 6.25 inches tall
