21. Wooden Bridge Guardian. 18th century, Nepal. 19 1/2" (49 cm.) tall. These wonderful primitive carved figures were used to guard bridges, springs and villages in the mountain regions of Nepal. The wood has a wonderful texture where it has been smoothed by the elements and the carving has a real charm; note the individually carved fingers. There are traces of an original painted or oiled outer layer. $475.
