This is a diminutive portrayal of a crowned Buddhist figure, most likely a Bodhisattva, dating to circa the 6th century AD, Northern Qi dynasty. Note that the nose and areas of the forehead are darker than the rest of the stone, indicating that they have been rubbed by the hands of worshippers over the centuries, creating a "sweat stain" darkening of the stone. The piece measures 1-1/2" in height and 1-3/4" front to back (depth) (4cm X 5cm), not including the stand (to which it has been permanently affixed.) This is an opportunity to own a genuine piece from this period without having to go to one of the major auction houses. Authenticity is guaranteed.
