Antique Ming Dynasty Wood-Carved Buddha and Soapstone Plinth

About the Item

In this listing you will find a rare original piece of historical craftsmanship. On sale is a religious statue of the Buddha. The figurine was attentively carved out of black stained wood. The statue's plinth was carved out of soapstone in the intricate network of a mangrove's roots. The top of the plinth displays a signature, which I'm unable to identify. This statue stems from the Ming Dynasty around 1700. Dimensions: W: 15.4cm D: 12cm H: 26cm.
