Description (Physical description)
A large wooden depiction of a camari, the Burmese version of a Tibetan yak. The majority of gilt has rubbed off leaving the red and black lacquer visible. The tail appears been broken and since repaired, it is possible this is just a join however the left hand side of the tail does show some signs of damage suggesting breakage. There appears to be additional breakage on the snout, and the right hand side ear.
