About the Item
6-9th Century Silla Dynasty style Korean Buddha-Looks to have a very good age, but not a period piece. Extremely large at 16.5 in tall. Superb face. Korean national treasure number 79 (from 709 A.D.) has the same form, including the shape of the base, the type of robes, and the bump on top of the head. That one is a classic extremely fine gilded bronze With an intricate back plate, so at first sight it looks quite different. It has a strong Ghandaran look to the robes- especially in the way they close around the neck. It is possible that it is a Silk Road piece that has combined elements of a number of cultures. My feeling is that it is the style suggests the 5/6thC, but the provincial sculpting, casting and relatively large size make it more likely to be quite a bit later. The condition is excellent for such a large early the only issue is that the bottom has collapsed in on itself on one side to some extent so that left to its own, it leans to one side. I had a custom base made that allows it to sit straight, as you can see in the photos. I did not believe it would be a good idea to try and correct this. While the underside looks quite solid and stable, I would not try and mess with it as it is probably brittle. In the end, it is the incredibly gentle, joy filled face, the very large size at 16.5 inches tall, and the extremely early styling for a Korean bronze figure that makes this such an extreme rarity for a Korean Bronze Sculpture. Search the internet for comps and you will see what I mean!

15th Century Northern Thai Bronze Buddha Masterpiece w Provenance - 9200
Located in Ukiah, CA
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. It is extremely large and is the largest high-end period bronze Buddha from Thailand I have ever had the pleasure of offering at 31 inches tall and in the range of 50 to 60 pounds (most of the clay core scooped out) (Outstanding provenance -from the personal collection of Ali A.

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...
