Great Mongolian folk Miniature, with different colored gilding- excavated from a ruined temple site, reportedly in the 1980's with a metal detector (no way to know if this is true-unsure of age but do have age to them). Mongolia had over 2 000 temples destroyed in a single day when the Soviets invaded in the late 1920s. . At first I thought this was a fake, but upon inspection, I have come to believe that this (and the 2 other related pieces I purchased which were excavated from the same site 6624 and 6626). In classic Mongolian style, the metals are unusual, the casting is provincial. Loss of an arm. Sits only 1-7/8 inches tall. Purchased over30 years ago when Mongolia was opening to the west. Quite rare- these 3 are the only 3 authentic old 3 metal pieces like them I have come across.
