Monkey King

A beautifully carved ebony wood Monkey King sculpture of quiet, meditative power. The figure is depicted in a composed seated posture, a smaller companion figure cradled at his side, his crowned head lending him a regal, almost divine bearing. The deep black finish of the wood is left largely unadorned, allowing the quality of the carving and the natural grain of the material to speak for themselves. Rooted in the folkloric and mythological traditions of Indian craft, this is a piece of understated gravitas for the discerning collector.
