Description:
This is an unusual sculpture of "Siddhartha Departing" on his Quest for Enlightenment (I only have one question: he left his beautiful young wife and child(?) which means almost ostracism in Indian culture----MEN!!) I believe the sculpture dates to the 18th c., perhaps early 19th c. The sculpture has had several restorations over its many years of life, but retains all of its original pieces. It has been painted at least twice, perhaps more. This is an uncommon theme in Budhist art and this piece is a stand out. It can also be categorized as folk art.
