Bears under the base the painted mark "Imported from Luxembourg Robj Paris", the painted number "219" and numbered in relief "599". 20,5 x 12,5 x 9 cm This bookend element consisting of a Buddha face in Khmer style is part of a set of Indochinese-inspired subjects of which we know a decorative plate and a centerpiece (model number 600).
