About the Item

Extremely early Chinese Buddha. This piece measures a substantial 9 1/4 inches tall and 11 inches with its custom base. Rare and special-it has one of the fine ancient patina (look at photos), early carefully rippled robes which still show the skill of the sculptor, and great care in finishing after all this time. Possibly from a small kingdom in central Asia that is now part of Western China that was part of the Silk Road over 1000 years ago. I saw one closely related example (15 years ago), though it was in much worse condition. Worthy of further study. The previous owner bought it in the 1960s in New York from a high-end antique shop (he did not have a copy of the original receipt to provide when I obtained it in the 1990s)
