About the Item

A compelling 19th-century Southeast Asian, hand-carved marble torso. The figure is adorned with carved beads and decorative embellishments along the legs, suggesting ceremonial jewelry or courtly attire, and reflecting the region’s longstanding tradition of integrating sculpture with symbols of status, devotion, and sacred identity. Sculptural traditions across Southeast Asia frequently incorporated jewelry, belts, and regalia into depictions of divine, royal, or heroic figures, emphasizing both spiritual presence and earthly power.  Now mounted on a later custom Lucite base, the fragment is presented as a modern objet d’art, allowing the historic carving to be appreciated as both archaeological remnant and sculptural statement.  An evocative work that bridges antiquity and modern presentation, ideal for collectors drawn to Southeast Asian art, architectural fragments, and interiors enriched by objects with history and sculptural character. 17.5"H is statue with base. Statue: 15.5"H Base: 2"H x 10.25"W x 7.5"D.
