A Chinese carved marble head of the Buddha. Carved in traditional Chinese form with hair pulled up in a bun at the top of the head with elongated ears. Nicely carved nose, eyes with pursed lips.
The head of Buddha has had a brass square form plug fit in the center of the neck on the underside to securely sit on the pedestal with square peg.
Provenance: Throckmorton Fine Art, NYC.
Condition
Condition issues include old earth and dirt residue to the sculpture in the carved crevicers with wear to the carved finish, notable in the hair which likely had more defined carving that has worn down with age and handling over time.
