Antique Burmese Hand-Carved Wood Seated Goat Sculpture from the 19th Century

A 19th century seated goat statue hand-carved in wood from Burma. This hand-carved statue depicts a goat, seated on his hind legs with his front legs pulled up in an almost squirrel like position. The animal showcases many details, enhanced by the white and black paint. The red accents for the eyes and the mouth highlight its lively aspect.

The goat wears a red necklace, which suggests it may have been a sacred goat. This 19th century hand-carved Burmese wood goat statue would be an enjoyable and uncommon decorative item in most homes, perhaps in a living room where it would no doubt be a tremendous conversation starter.
