Mongolian Bodhisattva cast out of an alloy that is aluminum-like.My insincts tell me that in this particular case this piece may be made out of the remains of an early airplane crash (Perhaps 60 to 80 years old?). I've encountered 4 of this material over the past 20 years-all of slightly different aluminum alloys . As with many Mongolian Buddhas, the casting is not refined, but the statue manages to convey a great deal of finesse, sophistication, and sensitivity . 4.25"
