Thai Bronze Buddha Head from the 9th/10th C, Museum Piece 8346

About the Item

Very early Thai bronze Buddha head from the 9th/10thC. It has a sensitivity and finesse not often found in such early SE Asian sculptures. It is very large for a bronze head from this early period and quite heavy. The Buddha was probably standing and probably originally stood 12 to 15 inches high. It has a strong burial patina, as can be seen in the photos. Head measures 4 inches tall and 5 7/8 inches tall on its custom base. I've owned this piece since 1987, and this was the first expensive piece I purchased when I began collecting seriously.

    Masterpiece 15th century Northern Thai bronze Buddha. This is the best of the best. Traces of gilding in the crevices of the hair, behind the ears, etcetera. The casting is crisp, the sculpting shows great finesse and depth, the patina is beautiful and complex and desirable, the proportions are classic, and the face as deep and serene and beautiful as any you will find on any Buddha.
