Thank you for the information! I suppose the photo of the bottom is too blurry to read. Any idea of what I could sell it for if I decided to? Is it probably bronze? Anyway, thank you for the info again!
Re: Small Asian Sculpture
I cant read Asian marks. Has it been repaired at the cranes ankles?
Re: Small Asian Sculpture
Yes, it looks like it has.
Re: Small Asian Sculpture
What could a fair value be if I tried to sell it? I understand that the repaired legs have devalued it now. THanks.
