    Chris, there are others here who will know instantly.

    My only thought is that the figures on top of the pagoda bear a resemblance to those on this pagoda in Saigon:

    I think it is fairly new. The faces are too Anglicized

    Vietnamese. Lovely.
    Chris, if you ask about the origin of a piece like this, which shows people from head to feet in local dress, could you please show them from head to feet? Saves me from having to do this and find out it doesn't lead to anything;):

    :playful: Europeanized maybe? Vietnam was once French, never English.;)
    But yes, fairly new.

    Vietnam, and lovely. I'll sit back and look and learn, but will hazard 1950s or 60s. Let's see what knowledgeable have to say ...
