      Framed tatted kitty cats!!  SOLD

========================================================================

Lastly, and seven or eight parsecs from leastly, we have...

History's Most Unique Buddha Statue  SOLD

In my 30 years of antiquing and untiquing (30th anniversary of my foray into being a real antiques dealer was last month.  Whoo hoo!!), I have seen hundreds, or maybe even a thousand or two, representations of the Buddha.  But nothing like this one. 

The piece is carved from teak and weighs a ton. 

The quality of the carving is just astonishing.

 

 

And know this: It looks waayyyyyyy better in person!!!!!  

Why is that?  Because I had to use my flash for most of the details, which caused the wood to look washed out a bit. 

This would be a VERY awesome gift for the person with an Asian decor, Oriental decor, Buddhist decor and/or for a Buddha collector.  

========================================================================

That's all for today.
