About the Item

A bronze Buddha Flame or "Ushnisha", recovered from the ancient city of Sukhotai, Thailand. Circa 15-16th Century. The Ushnisha is the three-dimensional oval on top of Buddha's head. In ancient scriptures, it is the symbol of his Enlightenment. While this "crown" has adopted many shapes by different schools through the centuries, the flame was adopted by Sri-Lankan tradition and expanded throughout Southeast Asia, being frequently found in classic Thai Buddha depictions. This Buddha Ushnisha Flame, reclaimed from an ancient statue, is very well preserved and exhibits a beautiful patina conferred by time and the elements. It measures 4.25 inches high by 1.5 inches wide. It comes mounted on a black metal stand, for a total height of 8 inches on a 2" x 2" base.

15th Century Japanese Bronze Baby Buddha, Large, Refined and Graceful-Special!
Located in Ukiah, CA
Baby Buddha- represents the Buddha right after his birth pointing toward Heaven and Earth so they can witness his first steps. Twenty years ago I had a near identical Japanese Baby Buddha. This one has a finer patina and may be more finely cast, but is extremely similar in almost every way. It was made in the same workshop, probably by the same hand. Fortunately, the other one had an inscription on it (this one does not, but is almost certainly the same age as the other one plus or minus 30 years). The woman I mentored at the time was able to read Japanese- she translated the year to late 15th century Japan...
