Hand-made metal statues from Nepal
In my comments about the first part of this video I expressed my concern that this craft practiced for centuries by few Newari families in Patan, Nepal, is doomed to die out. To give you a feeling for the level of high quality statues that I could still find in the 1970s, I include here a few images of statues bought more than 30 years ago. Judge for yourself.
