Early 20th Century Cambodian Polychrome Male Figurine

About the Item

Presenting a lovely early 20th century Cambodian polychrome male figurine. From circa 1900-1920 and from South Eastern Asia, most likely Cambodia based up on the style. This is a wooden carved Cambodian Courtesan, hand painted, in the Classic South East Asian (Cambodian) design and style. Evidence of genuine aging, as one would expect. Whilst the statue appears to have lost both arms, we feel that it remains a highly decorative and desirable piece. We are being cautious with our dating of this piece as it could be much older. Provenance: From the private collection of a Dallas Private Collector who acquired this on a trip to SE Asia in the 1970s.
