<p>[QUOTE="KikoBlueEyes, post: 4113560, member: 8363"]I was excited to find this large (16 inch tall) statute. It was presented as a monk purchased in China 60 years ago, and it was already old. The face and hands are unglazed, while the robe, cap, and other parts are very shiny. The painting is precise. This is a raised character in the ivory clay bottom and a small hole. It is heavy - too heavy for my scale and the bottom appears aged.</p><p>I couldn't find anything remotely like it, so I am hoping someone here can give me information. Perhaps the source, age range, anything. Any help, comments, thoughts or ideas will be highly appreciated.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]330569[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]330570[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]330571[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]330572[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]330573[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]330574[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]330575[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]330576[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]330577[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]330578[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
