7th/9thC Solid-Cast Bronze Prakhon Chai Buddha or Bodhisattva - 9688

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

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...
