5-7thC Thai Mon Buddha- Of the Earliest S.E.Asian Bronze Buddha Types-Very Large

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.

5/6thC Chinese Bronze Buddha - 9585
Located in Ukiah, CA
Amazing personality to this very early (pre-Tang) bronze Buddhist "angel" from a huge and elaborate back-plate from a Buddhist altar from 5th/6thC. The quality and face are superb. Close to 2 3/4 inches tall and 2 5/8 wide. 4 inches tall on custom stand. This and all the other parts would have each been individually cast and attached by loops (its loop is still there, being used to attach to stand) on back of angel to back-plate. This piece is small, but extremely rare, early, finely done, and loaded with personality. One of the rarest and most museum-worthy Chinese pieces...
