Very rare Yuan/early Ming cast-iron Buddha with integral mandorla- . Nearly exact example, with the same mudra. Illustrated in Sothebys "Art of the Buddha", September 22, 2005-page 94. The piece itself measures 7 inches tall x 3 1/2 inches across x 2 1/2 deep. Note item 8960 on this website, an extremely close (near identical) example with a different mudra. There was likely a third very close example that made up a set of three with different moods that went with the two examples I have already acquired. )
