A SUBTLE BEAUTY $300






This is an old statue from late 19th century. I collected it from a farmer in a small village in Norther Vietnam a few years ago. I don't know much about this status but no doubt it was hand carved from a local artisan. I admire the subtle beauty of this statue. Yes, it might not be so colorful and the texture of the lacquer not so smooth with its small break in the back of the base, but this statue has such a delicate beauty and magical aura. 

It's dimensions are 19.5"H x 8.8"W x 7D.
