"A 17th Century Chinese Prince"
Rare Chinese cast iron sculpture depicting a Prince riding a Leo-Fu seated in the Vitarka Mudra position who seems to bless with his right hand. Ming period. Polychromy and gilding have survived the centuries, losing some of their shine, but our young Prince still has a strong presence... note the high weight of this cast iron (6.5 kilos) which is clearly intended to survive the centuries.
