<table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="4"><tr><td><em> A DECORATIVE GILT WOOD SCULPTURE OF TWO ACROBATS</em></td></tr><tr> <td width="100%"> A DECORATIVE GILT WOOD SCULPTURE OF TWO ACROBATS<P>One acrobat stands on the shoulders of the other in this highly unusual piece of decorative wall sculpture from Burma (or possibly Thailand), and points to his right, while the other supports him on a shoulder and knee. They have quite a bit of character in their act. Their costumes are decorated with bits of colored mica or glass flakes. <p>The two figures are carved from a single piece of wood which is gilded over a red lacquer underlayer, and the composition is quite an interesting and unusual one, especially for a wall piece. The height is over two feet (26") by 12" wide, and the depth from the wall to the pointing finger is about 5.75". Condition is excellent, and this piece was likely made sometime in the 20th century. </td></tr><tr> <td> </td></tr><tr> <td>Reference #: 91304_2</td></tr><tr><td>Condition:Excellent</td></tr><tr><td>Year:Circa 20th century</td></tr><tr><td>Country:BURMA (OR POSSIBLY THAILAND)</td></tr><tr><td>Height:26"</td></tr><tr><td>Depth:5.75"</td></tr><tr><td>Width:12"</td></tr><tr><td>Title:GILT WOOD WALL SCULPTURE OF TWO BURMESE</td></tr><tr><td>Materials:Gilt Wood</td></tr><tr><td>Location:Miami, Florida</td></tr></table>
