Great Mongolian folk Miniature, with different colored gilding (silver and gold)- excavated from a ruined temple site, reportedly in the 1980's with a metal detector. Mongolia had over 2 000 temples destrpyed in a single day when the Soviets invaded in the late 1920's. . 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 1.5 nches tall. Purchased over 20 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.
