THE GOLDEN BUDDHA This is a original monotype chine colle There is only 1 available 11 x 16.5 THIS MONOTYPE WILL COME UNFRAMED One of a series of original monotypes & collages available in my shop. This piece was inspired by the story of the golden buddha. The Golden Buddha statue was completely plastered over to prevent it from being stolen during time so unrest in Thailand. The statue was covered with a thick layer of stucco, which was painted & inlaid with bits of coloured glass. The statue remained among the ruins of Ayutthaya without attracting much attention. The true identity of the statue was forgotten for almost 200 years. During an attempt to lift the statue from its pedestal, the ropes broke & the statue fell hard on the ground. At that moment, some of the plaster coating chipped off, allowing the gold surface underneath to be seen. The piece will arrive securely in a flat mailer.

This is just the way I would advise you mount any works on paper. Larger paper prints of this piece will be available soon! Original Monotype Print Black, Gold & Pink Abstract Art - 11x16.5
