    I have so many items that I would like to know more about, so here is another one.

    A bronze (?) sculptue of a Dancing Dakini Gita. 24 cm tall, weighs 2,1 - 2,2 kg. I am not sure if it is antique or modern. I thought it was black, but it has a green patina under certain light which I am not sure is real or painted on. The sculpture is very detailed and seems to be well made. Damage on the back of the base. Any info is welcome. Thank you! Gita11.jpg Gita12.jpg Gita14.jpg Gita13.jpg Gita17.jpg Gita15.jpg Gita16.jpg Gita1.jpg

    She is beautiful. A southern Indian style, Tamil Nadu imo.
    Because the style of religious statues changes very little, the exact age is difficult. But the wear on the bottom indicates age. I would say antique.
    Looks like a casting flaw to me. It happens.;)
