Burmese adoring figure in carved wood.

The Sariputta monk(Sariputra), carved from solid wood: (except for the two feet) The rear drapery is carved in one piece (see photo).
Beautifully preserved, the patina is evident in the remnants of saffron, chalk and orange-red polychrome that blend with the persistent stucco on the wood.
The posture and expression of the eyes are well reinforced by the right tilt of the face, slightly raised.
Burma (Myanmar), late Konbaung period, circa 1880.
Although this iconography is a great classic of Burmese art, antique pieces of this type and quality are now rare.
