The bronze has developed a natural patina, enhancing its authenticity while preserving the clarity of the sculpted details.
The figure measures 16 cm without the base and 21 cm including it, offering a well-balanced display size.
A classic and intact example of Khmer art – particularly appealing to collectors of Southeast Asian sculpture and religious artefacts.
