About the Item

This Pagan or post-Pagan Buddha, executed in a charming folk style, reflects the enduring regional traditions of Southeast Asian Buddhist art. Likely originating from Arakan, the piece would originally have had a separately cast base—either for an individual Buddha or as part of a trilogy. Its broad dating, between the 13th and 17th centuries, acknowledges the persistence of provincial styles that were emulated for centuries, demonstrating genuine continuity rather than later imitation. The figure is finely balanced and deeply expressive despite its simplicity, embodying the devotional sincerity of local craftsmanship. It is presented on a custom base created by a contemporary metal sculptor. Dimensions: 9.625" 4H x 6.625" W x 3.5" D. Weight: 6.03 lbs (base 4.76 lbs; 1.875"H). A long-time personal favorite.
