About the Item

I present to you an impressive Possibly Korean Buddha. Exceptionally rare, I cannot find any comps, so I cannot be sure of origin- I will say that I do not believe it is later than 14/15thC based on my handling many Buddhas over 30+ years, and its face has shape consistent with that of many early Korean Bronze Buddhas. This piece stands an incredible 12 inches tall and is remarkably heavy (plus the base is filled with lead). Search the internet. Please let me know if you any comparable examples of this age in this size for sale or display anywhere, as I have been unable to find any. I am posting many of my most cherished and valuable pieces as I near retirement. They are not inexpensive, but they are each special, very uncommon, authentic pieces, the equivalent of which you are unlikely to find again. Measures: Width 3", Depth 3" 8343.
