Said to be from the Ming Dynasty, 1368-1644 a.d. Imported to this country in the mid 1930's by a famous oriental dealer in St. Louis , Mo. and appraised in the 1940's for over $5,000.00. It is in fine condition in a beautful patinated goldleaf finish, which is the mark of all truly religious figures from China and the orient. If it does not have goldleaf, it is not an item of veneration-- just "tourist" goods. Please note the iron armature cast into the legs and body of this figure (see photo). This is the same technique used since the Renaissance to insure the strength of a standing figure. See the fierce and scowling face. Warlike stance and menace radiate from this figure. I can attest to the fact that in the 25 + years that I have had this figure, no Nagas have ever given me trouble.	1	Your Price: $2500.00

It is from the Late Edo Period or early Meiji Period (19th Century). The modeling of the figure is exquisite, the painting is meticulous in detail, the photos really do not do it full justice. There is a gold medalion design on the orange jacket,a gold scroll on the black collar and cuffs, the pattern on the skirt is painstakingly carried up and down the folds of the fabric. Look at the carefully painted cheeks and lips,the ghostly white powder contrasting with the black eyelashes and eyebrows. Only a master painter could have produced such an item. Unmarked as to country of origin, which places it well before 1891. One tiny flake on the skirt bottom--possibly a firing flaw, too tiny and well hidden to notice.	1	Your Price: $225.00
