Thanks Mike.
I bought this piece 5 years ago from a local asian art dealer. I like the piece because of the fine details and it project 3 different feeling of expression viewing buddha face 45 degree face above with stately look, 90 degree (as in the picture- kindly look) and 45 degree face from the bottom with respectful look. Is not an antique piece but was told that it papier mache made in the 70's in Myammar (Burma), is this consider a good art piece ? or just an ordinary common piece of handicraft ?
