AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Old bronze statue of a praying figure, a piece of folk art from western Nepal.
In Nepal, the bronze praying statue is one of the most refined expressions of Newari craftsmanship in the Kathmandu Valley. These figures are generally created with the millennia-old lost-wax casting technique.
The 'praying' pose is defined by the Anjali (or Namaskara) mudra, with the hands joined at the chest as a sign of prayer, respect and devotion.
