About the Item

A one-of-a-kind 14-16thC Nagapattinam Standing Indian Bronze Buddha (close to Chola, in both location and time, but this one is Buddhist, the other Hindu. Chola is more famous- both are High points in Indian sculpture). Nagapattinam Bronze Buddhas of any size are pretty rare. Examples over 8 or 10 in are extremely rare. Nagapattinam Buddhas as giant as this Buddha are only found in museums or (very rarely)the best auction houses. Go online and search for this type of Buddha in bronze and see what comes up. I am aware that no other Nagapattinam of this size has sold at Sotheby's or Christie's since they began putting results on their sites. Height is 20." tall (bronze total), 21.5" tall with its custom base, 11" (widest point at the base), and 6" (width at hands). Excellent condition. One nail/fingertip is broken, and the base has a few holes. Outstanding, untouched, even patina covers the entire statue. One expert who examined it felt that it is possible the base was made a bit later than the figure as it is not quite as refined or finished as the actual figure. 8000

15C-17C Lankan Divided Kingdom/Kandyn Period Standing Bronze/Other Alloy Buddha
Located in Ukiah, CA
15thC Sri Lankan Divided Kingdom early Kandy’sPeriod Standing Bronze Buddha. Quite rare to find a figure from this period in this large size and high quality--the vast majority are the later Kandy style, which look similar but have rounder faces and distinctive ripples covering the robes. If you search the internet you will find very few of this type outside of museums or high end auction houses that are not just a few inches tall and quite provincial in casting. The size is an impressive 12 1/2 inches tall for the figure only and a total height on attached stand of 13.5 inches. It is extremely heavy for its size. Many Lankan Buddhas...

15-18thC Sri Lankan Divided Kingdom/Kandy Bronze-Very Special Buddha, 10293
Located in Ukiah, CA
A rare and exceptional 15th–18th century Sri Lankan Standing Bronze Buddha from the Divided Kingdom Period. This finely cast figure exhibits a beautiful surface glow and a soft, aged patina that enhances its serene presence. Larger and of far higher quality than most surviving examples from this era, it stands apart from the more common later Kandy style Buddhas, which feature rounder faces and rippled robes. The sculpture is notably heavy for its size, reflecting the density and quality of the bronze used. Unlike many Sri Lankan Buddhas...

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.
