  • Japanese Wood Carved Polychrome Sculpture of a Seated Temple Monk, Edo Period
    Located in Studio City, CA

The monk appears to have glass eyes which gives his expression a very humanistic feel. The head is removable (please see the last image). From a collection of Japanese arts and artifacts. Most likely dates back to the Edo period. Would make for a nice addition to any Japanese or Asian artifacts...
