About the Item

A 19th century Chinese Ming dynasty hand carved stone monkey sculpture. This Chinese sculpture features a monkey figure, sitting on a rock formation, holding a square item, perhaps a box, in a lively and caring gesture. Upon closer inspection, one will notice the lovely infant monkey that is sleeping in the front, next to the paw of the adult monkey. This sculpture was intended to adorn the top of a stone pillar. Carved in high-relief, the monkey seems to be emerging from the rock formation as the body is partially carved. The base on which it is raised is adorned with delicate scrollwork motifs. This Chinese 19th century Ming dynasty hand carved stone monkey sculpture will be a charming decorative accent in any room, whether placed in a foyer, living room or on a patio.

Hand Carved Indian Temple Carving Statue from Gujarat Depicting Mother and Child
Located in Yonkers, NY
An Indian early 20th century hand carved architectural temple carving from Gujarat, depicting a mother and her child with nicely weathered patina. Crafted in the Western portion of India, in the culturally rich state of Gujarat, this early 20th-century hand-carved temple sculpture captures the tender bond between a mother and her child. The mother, adorned with a delicate headdress and detailed clothing and jewelry, stands in a dignified, frontal position. Her small child, clinging affectionately to her flank and grasping her dress, turns his head back towards us, a big smile illuminating his face. This heartwarming scene is beautifully rendered with a keen attention to detail, showcasing the artisan's skill and devotion. The sculpture's nicely weathered patina, along with traces of polychrome, lends it an air of antiquity and authenticity.

Ideal for a variety of settings, this temple carving will enliven any wall, bringing a touch of historical and cultural depth to your home. Its charming depiction of maternal love, combined with its rich textures and colors, makes it a captivating focal point.
