A SMALL BRONZE FIGURE OF A LUOHAN LATE MING DYNASTY

seated with one hand resting easily on a raised knee, the figure leaning on to the other arm, wearing a long loose robe open at the chest, the fabric folding  around the waist, hands and feet, the bald head with a full face bearing a serious demeanor, the bronze with a warm, dark-brown mottled patina

Roger Keverne, London, 2009.
