This Thai or Burmese Half Naked Beauty...is What ? , from When ?.....

Oh , is she pretty, in her exotic dance pose , & the maker spared no lines to hide her subtle erotic beauty.

She's heavy metal , stands 20 inches tall ( base included), is a dark grey/green putty like color with gold washed clothing ( what there is,,,,,,.) is I believe hollow.......came with a boyfriend whom I was not attracted to, and I don't believe what the seller told me about the pair.......

so please formulate, postulate or even speculate on what you see here.

Sorry for the lackluster pics .....I was trying too hard.

I will only add that I don't think the wood base was part of the original sculpture.

 

Oh, Mr. Spo-ock!

 

Wellllllll... here is another pair with the same get-ups... the site tells a little about them... Thai angels!

Hey Gila....that's pretty close.

 

Whatever it is I find the not-very-carefully-applied green spray paint to be a turnoff. The wood base with statue mounted askew on it with Phillips screws seems consistent with the spray paint job. This is a nice display item but IMHO the quality issues keep it out of the art and collectible categories.

 

That's why I put it in Metalware...
I never thought that was green spray paint ........hummmm?

 

The same pair in my link above was bronze... could it be painted bronze?

 

It's Sita in a traditional female dance pose, these usually come in pairs, the other would be Rama in a traditional male dance pose with a archery bow.

Like these. https://www.liveauctioneers.com/item/27361711_pair-old-thai-gilt-bronze-dancing-figures

 

Yup that's sure what to other looked like.....maybe I should have kept the pair together...

That said....mines twice the size.....And it is heavy like bronze would be....

The auction says old.....but what the hell does that mean ??
& they are affixed to a wood base so maybe that's the way they were presented...??

BTW...mine's pose is nicer....

 

Beautiful !!
