The second statue is a more simply garbed standing Buddha in a style similar to the same period. Both are posted into a lotus base and have carefully applied gilt and paint on the fractured surfaces to provide a wonderful aesthetic of age. Dimensions::26 1/2" and 25" high Property from a private prominent collection dating back to the early 1950s
