Antique Seated teakwood figurine, Burma

Seated teakwood figurine, Burma

This decorative female figure is carved from teakwood and has extensive painted decoration.

This kind of figure was usually used a decorative piece (often with a male companion piece) at venues such as theatres or places of social gathering.

It is possible that she is a Burmese Nat, but we have been unable to identify her to date if this is the case.

Old damages, but all adds to the character.

Dimensions: 
51 cm high x 19 cm wide x 19 cm deep.

Date: circa 1920
