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
