WOOD CARVING OF A HERMIT

Lifesize carving of a Burmese Rishi. Although Rishis live holy lives as hermits they are not considered monks. They can be distinguished by their unusual tall hats and the darker color of their robes. The majority of them live around the Golden Rock in Myanmar and belong to the Mon society, a Burmese ethnic group that originated in China.
