From the Collection of Gustaf Wallenberg (1863-1939). The collection was acquired between 1906 and 1918 when Wallenberg was the Swedish Envoyé in Tokyo. From 1907 he was also accredited for Beijing. Thence by descent.
Accompanied by a note written by Gustaf Wallenbergs daughter: ”Dalai Lama visited Peking early in 1900. At the time he paid his expenses with turquoises. My father Gustaf Wallenberg was at the time diplomatic minister to Tokyo and Peking, he bought this Buddha in 1907” (in translation from Swedish).
