AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Elegant Indian terracotta sculpture depicting Prince Rama, produced between the late 19th century and the early 20th century. The figure is shown standing on a circular base, wielding his iconic golden bow. It wears traditional ochre/orange garments, adorned with necklaces and bracelets.
Conditions: The work shows an authentic deep patina: the evident superficial darkening on the front is due to prolonged exposure over the years to the fumes from ritual lamps and incense, testimony to devotional use in a domestic temple or small shrine. A small flaw is present on the underside not visible from the outside. Please view the photos carefully as an integral part of the description.
Material: Hand-sculpted terracotta with original polychrome finish.
Origin: India (likely Bengal or Maharashtra region).
Era: Approximately 1890-1910
Dimensions: Height 32 cm, Width 11 cm.
Weight: 1.1 kg
Provenance: private collection
Tracked shipping.
