Description

Very nice oriental wood statue. Possibly a Monk or other religious figure. I was told it was used as a dinner bell. I think it was a prayer bell. The piece needs to be cleaned and repaired professionally as some of the paint is chipping off. It is missing the front of one foot and the striker for the bell is gone also. I've seen similar in an exhibition at the Birmingham, Alabama Museum of Art a few years ago. I have no idea exactly what and where it is from, nor the age of the statue.
