Subject:Re: Please help Identify This Wooden Figurine
Posted By: Bill H Mon, Jan 30, 2017
This appears to be a Vietnamese carving, based on its features, costuming and tone of the gilt, the latter suggestive of exposure to incense smoke but also may reflect lacquering. I searched some web outlets and online auction results but was unable to find a match or anything close that had sold. I lack hands-on experience with this type of Vietnamese carving, though I've seen them in market shops along the Mekong in Northeastern Thailand and Laos, where there's a substantial population of ethnic Vietnamese. Perhaps others who visit the forum can provide further information.
Best regards,
Bill H.
