Item Details
Description
A GILT PAINTED WOOD BUDDHA FIGURE. Raised on a fitted red cube form stand (H: 4'') Figure H: 12.5''
Condition
This piece has a significant amount of wear from age and handling. There is a medium amount of grime and dust build up to the surface. There is a medium amount of pen tip sized - 1" diameter chips of pigment missing from the surface, exposing wood and gessoed surface. There is a medium amount of gilt loss to the material from wear. There are a couple approximately .5" line chips to the hair texture behind. There is some chipping on the pointer and pinky finger of the raised hand, but they are mostly still in tact. The other hand is missing about half the ring finger. This piece appears to have had additional decor mounted, that has been removed. There are some pen tip sized nail holes from this previous mounting around the head and a couple nail holes and a tack nail on the collar bone. The top of the head has hair line crack running from ear to ear. There is a visible seam from where the wood is put together on the knee, with some light chipping to the seam. The base is contemporary, and appears to be custom built for the piece. There are also visible wood seams on the elbows.
