About the Item

Sukothai 15thC-18thC Bronze Buddha. Large at 16.25" total height.- 10lbs. Base cast separately. Beauty! This very special face is very pleasing to look at. It seems to look right back at you. It's hard to find a good quality Thai Buddha with so much personality and such a good sense of humor. It's a personal favorite. Larger than the 16.25 "is suggested due to the width and the stout shape of the Buddha's body, along with the impressive width of the base. At first, I thought it was 18/19 century, but after studying it closely and comparing it to closely related examples, I now believe it might be earlier. The 18/19 century ones are not as animated, are not cast in the same way, are not smooth everywhere except on the inside edges of the base, where fingers normally don’t go, etc.. The clay core in the underside of the period pieces, if it is not removed, typically has a very specific look to it, which is quite different than the later examples. I have more than 1700 Buddhist objects in my home, and yet this is one of the four or five out of all of them that I am drawn to daily to look at and spend time with due to its charisma and spiritual energy. This is the highest Compliment I can pay to a Buddha.

15th Century Northern Thai Bronze Buddha Masterpiece w Provenance - 9200
Located in Ukiah, CA
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. It is extremely large and is the largest high-end period bronze Buddha from Thailand I have ever had the pleasure of offering at 31 inches tall and in the range of 50 to 60 pounds (most of the clay core scooped out) (Outstanding provenance -from the personal collection of Ali A.

11thC Bronze Buddha- Pyu/Pagan Burma Rare, Powerful Ancient- TL Test! - 8439
Located in Ukiah, CA
One of my all-time favorites out of more than 10 thousand of Buddhas I have owned over the past 3+ decades. I believe this is a transitional piece that is late-Pyu and contemporary with the Pagan period, although I have never seen another like it. See attached Oxford TL test which dates it at up to 800 years old. YES- it really IS that green-the photos are accurate. Probably the ones that show the color the closest are the one with the ruler in it, and the two showing the recently made custom base. The two with the base were taken with a different camera. It is extremely large for its type. I've had several experts who have been amazed by this piece, as they have studied and collected Burmese sculpture...
