Description
cast in a seated position with her hands crossed and resting on her raised right leg, her body dressed in a long-sleeved robe with the embroidered details picked out in silver and with ample folds elegantly gathering at her feet, her face with a serene expression under an elaborately coiled chignon, the back bearing a Shi Sou mark inlaid in silver
Condition
The figure is in good overall condition with some minor losses to the silver inlay. Her right hand and fingers have been slightly retouched as that section fluoresces under UV light. Very light surface wear.
