Southeast Asia, circa 17th century

monk’s robes falling just before the feet,
decorated at the hem with raised floral
borders, his face with a meditative expression
defined by downcast eyes flanked by
pendulous ears, the right hand in abhaya
mudra, the left brought to the chest as if
holding an implement; the other figure wearing
an official’s hat decorated with interlocking
clouds, full robes and two belts framing his
rounded belly revealing his undergarment
decorated with a mythical beast, his realistic
and serene expression defined by almond
eyes beneath arched eyebrows and long
moustaches and beard, stands.
Each figure 107cm (42 1/8in) high. (4).
