23 Answers
Hi all, I have been given a garden statue of an oriental old man (priest, I think) with an open 'prayer' scroll extending from his right hand at shoulder height to his waist , in his left hand, resting on his waist, is 'cupped' what looks like half an advocado with the stone in the middle. I have 'googled'50 odd pages and cannot identify this . Any one into oriental religious iconary, any guidance much appreciated
