About the Item

Very rare antique Vietnamese bronze Shiva. 6 inches tall, 7.25 inches on a custom stand. Has many Cham features. While he looks to have significant age, he does not appear to be a period (800 to 1000 years old) piece. My instincts and years of collecting (40+ collecting, 35 selling) strongly suggest a 17/18thC dating. Purchased many years ago from a westerner who married a Vietnamese woman and lived in Vietnam in the 1990s for several years and had acquired a wonderful group of uncommon Cambodian bronzes during his time there before returning to the states. This, in my opinion, was the best of the grouping.- Very rare- you would be hard-pressed to find another Cham-influenced bronze Shiva from this period anywhere. Wonderful face7903.

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.
