Gilded Southeast Asian Carved Standing Figure – 35″ Hand-Painted Wood with Mirror Inlay
A striking carved figure from Southeast Asia, this 35-inch tall sculpture is hand-hewn from wood and richly decorated with gilt detailing and tiny mirrored inlays. The figure stands in a welcoming or offering pose, with one arm lifted and a serene, almond-eyed expression. Draped in an ornate robe, its gold-painted surface shows age and wear, including flaking and visible cracking along one shoulder and arm. Likely Burmese or Northern Thai, these statues were often created for temple offerings, spiritual decor, or cultural export.
This piece comes from an El Dorado Hills estate with a love of global craftsmanship and sacred symbolism.
