AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

These detailed figures represent celestial musicians (Devas): one is playing a drum, while the other plays small cymbals. They are crafted using traditional techniques from wood, finished with a characteristic red lacquer, and covered in gold leaf. Their attire and headdresses are intricately decorated with raised patterns and inlaid with small, colored glass stones and tiny mirrors.

The figures possess a beautiful patina, developed over time, which enhances the authentic charm of the woodcarving.
