About the Item

Very early SE Asian Mon Buddha--probably 6thC. Extremely rare to find in such a large size (the full figure would have stood a good 18+ inches tall, which was enormous for this very early period). Wonderfully expressive face. Strong burial patina. Likely from the area currently covered by Thailand or Cambodia, as this was made before the modern states existed. Not inexpensive as very few examples of this size exist in private hands. Solid cast (typical for its type) and heavy for its size. This is among the earliest SE Asian bronze sculptures made. In my collection for more than 25 years. Purchased in the 1990's from an advanced collection of early SE Asian bronze sculpture. This fragment is over 13 inches tall and stands 15 1/2 inches on a custom stand. This is a true "Museum Piece", as there are only a small handful of such early large pieces in existence of this type in this size remaining.

11thC Bronze Buddha- Pyu/Pagan Burma Rare, Powerful Ancient- TL Test! - 8439
Located in Ukiah, CA
One of my all-time favorites out of more than 10 thousand of Buddhas I have owned over the past 3+ decades. I believe this is a transitional piece that is late-Pyu and contemporary with the Pagan period, although I have never seen another like it. See attached Oxford TL test which dates it at up to 800 years old. YES- it really IS that green-the photos are accurate. Probably the ones that show the color the closest are the one with the ruler in it, and the two showing the recently made custom base. The two with the base were taken with a different camera. It is extremely large for its type. I've had several experts who have been amazed by this piece, as they have studied and collected Burmese sculpture...

Masterpiece 15th century Northern Thai bronze Buddha. This is the best of the best. Traces of gilding in the crevices of the hair, behind the ears, etcetera. The casting is crisp, the sculpting shows great finesse and depth, the patina is beautiful and complex and desirable, the proportions are classic, and the face as deep and serene and beautiful as any you will find on any Buddha. It is extremely large and is the largest high-end period bronze Buddha from Thailand I have ever had the pleasure of offering at 31 inches tall and in the range of 50 to 60 pounds (most of the clay core scooped out) (Outstanding provenance -from the personal collection of Ali A.
