CHINA, 20th century Guanyin carved in red coral. Weight : 106,1 g. H. (without base) : 12,6 cm. Coral (Corallium spp) (Corallidae spp) (NR). Specimen having undergone a mechanical destructuration by polishing, cutting, turning or faceting, dating from more than 50 years, not included in the Washington Convention (CITES) nor in the EC Regulation 338/97 of 09/12/1996, nor in the French Environment Code. The commercial use of this specimen is allowed in the EU because the material is not raw but worked in the form of sculpture. For a possible export, it will be up to the successful bidder to inquire - prior to any purchase of this lot containing coral - with the customs of the country concerned, particularly if it is the United States. For a departure from the EU, a CITES re-export will be necessary, this being at the expense of the future buyer.
