This early 20th-century Mandalay-style reclining monk, made of patinated bronze, has been transformed into a figurative table lamp.
The disciple has a peaceful face and a resting, elegant posture. His face is handsome, with a slight smile and a straight nose.
His robe lies in lush, wave-like folds on the surface of his body, reflecting the soft contours of the body beneath.
The robe is richly decorated and suggests embroidery in silver, gold, and pearls.
To match the object, the lamp structure was crafted in bronze and fitted with two sockets.
The rectangular, dark green shade completes the lamp.
