About the Item

I present to you an impressive Possibly Korean Buddha. Exceptionally rare, I cannot find any comps, so I cannot be sure of origin- I will say that I do not believe it is later than 14/15thC based on my handling many Buddhas over 30+ years, and its face has shape consistent with that of many early Korean Bronze Buddhas. This piece stands an incredible 12 inches tall and is remarkably heavy (plus the base is filled with lead). Search the internet. Please let me know if you any comparable examples of this age in this size for sale or display anywhere, as I have been unable to find any. I am posting many of my most cherished and valuable pieces as I near retirement. They are not inexpensive, but they are each special, very uncommon, authentic pieces, the equivalent of which you are unlikely to find again. Measures: Width 3", Depth 3" 8343.

15th Century Japanese Bronze Baby Buddha, Large, Refined and Graceful-Special!
Located in Ukiah, CA
Baby Buddha- represents the Buddha right after his birth pointing toward Heaven and Earth so they can witness his first steps. Twenty years ago I had a near identical Japanese Baby Buddha. This one has a finer patina and may be more finely cast, but is extremely similar in almost every way. It was made in the same workshop, probably by the same hand. Fortunately, the other one had an inscription on it (this one does not, but is almost certainly the same age as the other one plus or minus 30 years). The woman I mentored at the time was able to read Japanese- she translated the year to late 15th century Japan...
