rare Chinese, red coral, Apsara,
A fantastic, antique, Chinese, red coral, Apsara, flying in heaven with a ladle for holly water.
Beautifully carved, fine details, and very dynamic creation of the robed Apsara. Her hair style, earrings and face are almost modern in an art deco style. Yet, the set of her robe reminds us of western depiction of angels. The clouds engulfed in her robe, are very traditional Chinese. A well carved fine wooden base, depicting bats and clouds, inlaid with fine metallic wire.
Size net 30x11.5 cm, with stand 16 cm.
