About the Item

Pair of carved sandstone temple guards. Originates from paragoda in Burma circa 15th century. Hand carved with fine details. Each guard is in two parts assembled with screws strong enough to lift up to 1 ton. Mounted later on a rectangular light sandstone base. Excavated from the ground. In the 18th century there was a large earthquake in the Arakan province, where many houses and temples were razed to the ground. In very good original condition, with natural age-related patina. We have deliberately chosen not clean the figures in order to maintain originality. Burma 15th century.
