click for details		Himalayan Antiques $325
This carved bone image of a fearsome Mahakala originates in Tibet. It is possibly from a necromancer's apron, though it is freestanding and lacks the top holes one would expect. It does have two drilled holes which are drilled so as to come through the mouth. It measures just over 2-1/2 inches high (6.5 cm.) and forms under a 45 degree angle at the base. It is in excellent condition. Without scientific testing it ...click for details

Very Early Wooden Ganesh Nepal Antiques: Regional Art: Asian: Indian Subcontinent: Himalayas: Pre 1800 item# 705903 (stock#22475)
click for details		Himalayan Antiques $325
The wear, patina, and the lightness of the wood all point to a very early date for this small wooden statue of Ganesh. We would estimate its origin to the eighteenth century. The piece is 4.5 x3.5 inches (11 x 9 cm.). The lower righthand corner contains an early repair with a dark and hardened substance. Our last photograph shows the extent of the repaired area. It hardly detracts from the overall look of the piece.
