Chinese Ming Dynasty 17th Century Hand Carved Stone Monkey Temple Sculpture
About the Item
A Chinese Ming Dynasty period hand carved stone monkey temple sculpture from the 17th century, depicted seated and holding a round stone disc above its head. Created in China during the Ming Dynasty period which spanned from 1368 to 1644, this hand carved stone sculpture was probably the base of a stone pillar, likely placed in a temple. It depicts a monkey sitting on a square pedestal, and lifting both his arms on each side of its head to hold a circular disk. It was hand carved with few details but in a lively way which highlights its enjoyable aspect. Boasting a nicely weathered patina documented on the various photos available, this Chinese Ming Dynasty period hand carved stone monkey sculpture from the 17th century will make for a pleasant addition to any home décor, perhaps used as a decorative accentuation or as a drinks table, placed indoors or outdoors.
