CHINA, TANG DYNASTY (AD 618-907)

The condition of lots can vary widely and the nature of the lots sold means that they are unlikely to be in a perfect condition. Lots are sold in the condition they are in at the time of sale.

We have sought to record the changes in the condition of this piece acquired after its initial manufacture.
- As can seen in the images, the surface appears weathered and there are speckles of pigment on the front.
- There are chips to the fingers on the right hand, the front corners of the base, and other small expected nicks and chips to edges and extremities.
- There is like loss to the back of the figure, possibly a mandorla.
- There is some polish to the back of the figure and base.
