品相说明:
The figure was once mounted as a lamp and as a result has a small hole to the top of her head where the chignon would be, another small hole to the back of the head where the the crown joins the hair, and to the back of the lotus base where there is a small hole to the lower lotus leaf band and the pearl border and another hole to the rim underneath it. The figure has lost most of its fire-gilding but some minute particules of gilding can be seen in the recesses of the casting. There is what may be a casting flaw to part of the back of the figure. The chignon and most of the raised bits of the crown are broken off and missing as is the figure's right hand. On the left side of the figure there is a ca. 3cm long old crack extending from the rim of the base upwards and then forking into two cracks in the form of a T (visible from the inside). The shawl wound behind her elbow may have been made separately and there the shawl hanging down her legs on the figure's left hand side has an old break. The mark is visible and there is a ca. 1cm wide shallow casting flaw to the right of it. The figure has a beautiful expression, is crisply cast with fine details.
