This lot comes from the private collection of Mr. J. Bahamonde who over a period of 20 years acquired his collection from various prestigious dealers and has now decided to downsize his beloved collection. His degree in ancient Near East and Roman Britain archaeology from Manchester University, one of the best in the U.K. and passion for ancient history is reflected in this intriguing head carving. A stone carving depicting the head of Vishnu wearing a conical-shaped crown, the head attached with an elegant metal stand. A lovely stone carving, the photos do not do any justice to this carving. You will be please if you purchase it. Dimension (head): 17.5 cm. With stand: 25 cm. Condition: Very good condition, finely carved, some stone weathering as expected.
