This glass globe is a remarkable piece of art, made of high quality glass.
The cored-out hollow interior of the orb has been hand-painted with great care.

The fine quality of the brush strokes on the robes and figures... are clearly visible.
This artwork is meant to be displayed in a well-lighted place.
The glass is in good condition, with two small scratches, and the painting is exquisite, with no flaws.
The words "Four Buddhas" appear in Chinese characters, a reference to the Four Sacred Buddhist Mountains in China, each with a special Buddha statue.
This classic globe comes with a varnished wood pedestal for a base.

Purchased in the artists' sector of Shenzhen, ca 1996, it is 100% authentic.
