A Very Large and Rare 14-16thC Nagapattinam Bronze Buddha, 8000

About the Item

A one-of-a-kind 14-16thC Nagapattinam Standing Indian Bronze Buddha (close to Chola, in both location and time, but this one is Buddhist, the other Hindu. Chola is more famous- both are High points in Indian sculpture). Nagapattinam Bronze Buddhas of any size are pretty rare. Examples over 8 or 10 in are extremely rare. Nagapattinam Buddhas as giant as this Buddha are only found in museums or (very rarely)the best auction houses. Go online and search for this type of Buddha in bronze and see what comes up. I am aware that no other Nagapattinam of this size has sold at Sotheby's or Christie's since they began putting results on their sites. Height is 20." tall (bronze total), 21.5" tall with its custom base, 11" (widest point at the base), and 6" (width at hands). Excellent condition. One nail/fingertip is broken, and the base has a few holes. Outstanding, untouched, even patina covers the entire statue. One expert who examined it felt that it is possible the base was made a bit later than the figure as it is not quite as refined or finished as the actual figure. 8000

  • 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...
