That alone makes it an object with character, but the statue itself is clearly much older and is estimated to date from the Qing period.\n\nWhat makes this statue extra special is that remnants of old gilding are still visible under microscopic examination. In combination with the original polychromy, the fine craquelé in the surface, and the natural wear, this confirms the authentic structure of the statue. The aging looks convincing and gives the piece exactly that quiet, weathered appearance you look for in real old temple statues.\n\nThe gentle posture with folded hands, the old painting, and the weathered lotus base make this a decorative and spiritual object with a real presence.
