Condition
The sculpture is in extraordinarily good condition for a piece of its age, and it is especially rare to find a piece of this large size with extensive original pigmentation intact. As visible in the catalogue photo, there is minor surface wear and scratches, and rubbing to the pigments. The rock support that the luohan is leaning against at the back has a loss of approx 5cm. The inscription at the front is rubbed and difficult to decipher. The catalogue photo colours are darker than reality, and the shadows obscure the attractive blue pigments.
