This auction ended on October 9, 2025.

Estimated price: £20 - £40

Buyer's Premium: 18%

Sold for: £14

A standing metal figurine, likely patinated bronze or brass, depicting a female figure poised on a square, tiered base. The figure is clad in a long, intricately patterned skirt or sarong and a fitted bodice, featuring a distinct head covering and visible necklace. She holds a small, round-bodied pot or vessel in her right arm, resting at her waist, while her left arm is extended forward with an open palm. The aesthetic suggests a Southeast Asian style, possibly Khmer, Thai, or Balinese, characterized by the detailed attire and graceful stance, consistent with a water carrier.
