Trying to Identify a Stone Statue from Lombok ( China & Japan ) - Peter - Jun 28, 2016 (01:27 PM)

Subject:Trying to Identify a Stone Statue from Lombok
Posted By: Peter Tue, Jun 28, 2016 IP: 96.54.193.178

In the late 1990’s while travelling around Lombok I purchased a stone statue (photo attached) that is approximately 12” in height x 7” and is made from a soft white rock.

The statue was purchased from an artifacts shop where I discovered the statue in the rear of the shop behind many other items and covered in a layer of dust and cobwebs. I had never seen a statue of this nature in my travels either then or since. Unfortunately due to the language barrier I was unable to find out any details about the statue.

I hope that someone can provide any information re the statue's possible age and origin?
