About the Item
7th–9th Century Solid-Cast Bronze Prakhon Chai Bodhisattva of Compassion. This superb solid-cast bronze Bodhisattva of Compassion, dating to the 7th–9th century, is strongly associated with the legendary Prakhon Chai hoard. In the early 1960s, after heavy rains caused an underground chamber to collapse in eastern Thailand, more than four hundred bronze Buddhas and Bodhisattvas were discovered. These works varied widely in size and quality and spanned roughly two centuries of artistic development. Most were quickly absorbed into museums and important private collections.
This example almost certainly originates from that historic cache: it displays the distinctive sash at the waist—a hallmark feature seen across many of the finest Prakhon Chai bronzes. The sculpture’s graceful stance, beautifully balanced from every angle, exhibits the elegance and refinement characteristic of the best pieces from the group. The Bodhisattva stands 6.75 inches tall, or 8? inches including the custom base, with dimensions of 1.6 inches in width and 1.5 inches in depth. The surface retains a lovely, even patina, soft and consistent, adding further depth to its presence.
A quietly powerful, well-proportioned early Southeast Asian bronze, and an especially fine example from one of Thailand’s most celebrated archaeological discoveries.
