About the Item

7th/9thC solid-cast bronze Prakhon Chai Bodhisattva of Compassion. In the early 1960s, a cache of over four hundred bronze Buddhas and bodhisattvas were discovered in the east of Thailand after strong rains caused an underground chamber to collapse. They ranged in age over a 200 year period, as well widely varying in quality. The pieces ranged from quite small to over a meter tall. Most of the examples ended up in museums or important private collections. This piece is likely from that original cache as it has the distinctive sash found around the waist of that grouping. Note the finesse in the stance--look at it from any angle, and you will see grace, balance, and beauty. Stands 7 inches tall and 8 3/8 inches tall including base. Many fakes tend to be"stiff" in their stance. The really good examples (as is this one) show great sophistication in their sculpting, especially for such an early date. 9688

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...
