Meissen allegorical figured group "Asia"

From the "Four Continents" series. With plastic flowers and leaves, and a naturally shaped base. Near a palm tree, seated on a camel, a young Eastern woman personifies the continent of Asia, dressed in a white floral-patterned dress, a purple coat, and an intricate headdress resembling a hood. In her left hand, she holds a censer, and in her right, a scepter. Polychrome painting with gold details. The author is likely Johann Joachim Kändler or his follower. Restored; marked with crossed swords. Height - 20.5 cm. The four allegories of the continents were listed in Kändler's tax (1740-1748) as of November 20, 1745. A slightly modified model of the "Asia" group with altered posture was created by Johann Friedrich Eberlein in the summer of 1745–1747 as part of a cycle under Kändler's supervision and was included in an order from Empress Elizabeth Petrovna for the Russian court.
