About the Item
This may be my all-time favorite of all the SE Asian Buddhas I have ever owned--and that is saying a lot, as I have owned many thousands over a thirty-five-year period. It is a very special transitional Buddha from the Dvarati period to the very earliest Thai Sukhothai style. Might even call this "Pre-Sukhothai, as it is likely 10/11thC (or a century earlier or later). Extremely thinly cast, both the body and base have original casting flaws in the front as can be seen in the photo. From a time when bronze was in short supply. The face is remarkable--coming out of the more primitive serious war-like Dvarati type into the more plastic joyful modern Sukhothai-type. This piece is really on the cusp of a breakthrough in SE Asian sculpture from the period where the more modern states (Thailand, Burma, Laos, etc.) can be recognized. The thoughtfulness and calm in the face are like no other Buddha I have had. Bought from a prominent Thai physician who claimed this had been in his family for at least 200 years. He became Christian and was selling his family's Buddha collection, and donating the money to his church. I have not encountered this dynamic before or since, but I was able to buy three incredible pieces from his collection. Sits 7 1/2 inches tall x 5 1/2 inches wide alone and 9 1/2 inches tall on its custom base.

18/19th Century Unique, Large Burmese Buddha, 8030
Located in Ukiah, CA
Compelling, large Burmese Buddha. It is unique in many ways.
First, it looks like a specific person (as opposed to a sculpture of a generic figure), which is never ever done when sculpting a Buddha statue.
Second, is it figure looks European. the facial features look European, the body shape and the way the body is sitting look European, and the tunic the figure is wearing looks more European than it looks Asian.
It has a rare and beautiful "lotus" cap finial that I've never seen on a Burmese Buddha(or any Buddha) before. A real mystery. Looks to be at least 18/19thC. Everyone has a strong reaction when they see him-they smile. Sits a full 19 inches tall-extremely large for this type of bronze. Retains an almost untouched chocolate brown patina.
My gut tells me that at some time during the English occupation in the 18th or early 19th century either had this Buddha specially commissioned, or was given this Buddha as a special gift by either a major Temple or spiritual leader, or by a significant political leader of that time and place. in breaking with long spiritual tradition, they had the person's image and Anglo heritage melded with a Shan style Buddha...

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.
