A SINO-TIBETAN GILT-BRONZE FIGURE OF BEGTSE QING DYNASTY, 18TH CENTURY

standing in pratylalidhasana with the right arm raised, the hands held in vitarkamudra, wearing an armour with a shawl on the shoulders, the ferocious face detailed with large bulging eyes, opened mouth, and a curled beard, the flaming hair behind a tiara decorated with five skulls, all raised on a Perspex stand

The figure adhered to the stand and not inspected off it. The celestial scarves with two losses to the ends and cracks and chips elsewhere; a small aperture of the figure's left hand, suggesting it would have originally held an attribute, now lost; small dents and scratches elsewhere to the figure; wear to the gilding. Otherwise in good condition. Please note the the stand is stone, not Perspex.
