Item Details
Description
South Asia, southern India or Sri Lanka (formerly Ceylon), Kandy period, ca. 18th to 19th century CE. A beautiful hand carved figurine of a woman dressed in fine garments.

Upon her wrists are bangles, around her neck are large necklaces, and her ears are elongated from her undoubtably heavy earrings. Her hair is pulled back into thick bun behind her head, and a cape rests over her shoulders. The surface of this wealthy woman is further enriched by a smooth and dark brown patina. Size: 3.25" L x 1.75" W x 7.5" H (8.3 cm x 4.4 cm x 19 cm); 9" H (22.9 cm) on included custom stand.
