9-11thC . (possibly solid) silver Dvarati Buddha, probably from Thailand
About the Item
This is a (possibly solid) silver Dvarati Buddha, probably from Thailand, certainly from SE Asia. Dated to the 9-11thC. I have not measured the purity of the silver, and have no way to know for sure if it is solid cast, except for the weight, which is quite heavy for its size. It is the best Buddha of its type I have ever owned (And I have owned quite a few). It comes from a one European collection of small and miniature (mostly) nearly pure silver Buddhas from Southeast Asian Countries. The majority of the collection is Cambodian, as there is a tradition in that country of solid cast miniature and small silver Buddhas from the 17th through 19th centuries. This was the earliest and finest piece in the entire collection by far.
Take time to look at the exquisite face that radiates deep spiritual compassion, equanimity, and a deep sense of joy. The best Dvarati Buddhas manage to convey these feelings as successfully as any Buddhas during any time period. I have not cleaned it. I do believe the white material in the corners of the mouth will come out fairly easily, but I chose not to touch the surface as it is so wonderful and I did not want to risk messing it up.
It is displayed on a black base that is a bit large for it, but I felt that it showed off the piece well so I decided to include it. You may decide to get a custom one made. I tried to find a nicer Buddha online for a comparable price and I couldn't find any Dvarati silver Buddhas of this quality, at any price! ( 2.875"H x 2"W ) - 185g - Base ( 2"H x 4"W)

- Dali Kingdom, 10/11thc, Is a Fierce Buddhist Deity Cast in IronLocated in Ukiah, CAThis is a fierce Buddhist deity cast in iron. Probably from the Dali Kingdom, 10/11thC South of China. Possibly early Tibetan. Solid cast. Condition as shown in photos- generally good, with an ancient iron patina that grows out of the metal. He is missing one hand. He emanates a powerful presence. Currently, he is securely attached to an old plexiglass stands. He is a very good size at 10 inches tall, by 4.5 wide inches by 3.5 inches deep. As he is solid-cast, he is quite heavy. He is holding a skull full of brains in his left hand and has a snake around his neck. He is naked except for a full garland of human heads around his body. Unsure what the 3 prong head-piece is composed of- Nagas? Will be in January auction on live auctioneersCategory
