About the Item

11th century West Tibetan bronze bodhisattva with Silver Inlays- I present to you a remarkable sculpture from Western Tibet that brings much more of a Western influence to it than the vast majority of Buddhist sculptures. you can almost feel the influence going all the way back to Gandara and to the Grecian and Roman statues that influence them. the casting process oh, the finishing, the kind of bronze used, and the proportions of the body and face, are all completely different than those used in almost all the other Buddhas on my website. It also happens to be a masterpiece. The missing lower arms and hands do not take away from the beauty of the figure whatsoever. the arms are not broken off, as they appear to have been separately cast and then attached after the statue was cast. This would have been the only way to have made the Statue originally as it is solid cast and there would have been no way to have made the long thin arms as part of an original mold 1000 years ago. So the arms have detached over a thousand years, not broken off. The silver inlays in the eyes and the forehead slightly shine to great effect-He has real charisma. Spend time looking at the pictures. One of my all-time favorites out of almost 10,000 Buddhas collected, owned, or sold.

11thC Bronze Buddha- Pyu/Pagan Burma Rare, Powerful Ancient- TL Test! - 8439

Located in Ukiah, CA

One of my all-time favorites out of more than 10 thousand of Buddhas I have owned over the past 3+ decades. I believe this is a transitional piece that is late-Pyu and contemporary with the Pagan period, although I have never seen another like it. See attached Oxford TL test which dates it at up to 800 years old. YES- it really IS that green-the photos are accurate. Probably the ones that show the color the closest are the one with the ruler in it, and the two showing the recently made custom base. The two with the base were taken with a different camera. It is extremely large for its type. I've had several experts who have been amazed by this piece, as they have studied and collected Burmese sculpture...
