Figure in a lotus setting.
From the Handwritten Catalogue 1957-1958:
God image of marble, Siam.
H. (without head) 21.5 cm; head cut off, its H. 8.5 cm; white marble; full seated on pedestal.
According to patch catalogue cards: Homeway of the Svenska Ostindian Kompaniets ship in the 1700s.
The head has been of the stroke; nowadays glued with what looks like a cellulose based cellulose nitrate adhesive (type Karlson’s adhesive). A thin thread runs through the glue mass and out and around the “hair knot” on the figure’s head. The “Hair knot” is partially turned off, as well as connecting parts between ears (long ear carvasses) and shoulders.
The light marble has carved patterns and these are or have been unpainted with reddish-brown pigments. Some reddish-brown batches are then gilded.
Sugar and Body Marking U.M.648a. and main U.M.648b.¨
Note in Gåvobok 1867:
Pettersson I. F. Hedvigslund
a Chinese God image, brought to Sweden by an af of the ship of the Cheese Indian Company. (The image is commemorated in Hjertas Lördagsmagazin for 1838, No. 138.)
