About the Item

An exceptional 9th–10th century Burmese bronze Buddha from the pre-Pagan period, exhibiting defining stylistic characteristics of the late Pyu era. The solidly cast head reflects the distinctive artistic conventions of the period, while the figure’s unusually large, elegantly modeled hands convey both strength and serenity. Considerably large for a bronze of its age, this Buddha exudes a powerful spiritual presence, with a beautifully calm and balanced expression that radiates equanimity. Measuring 7.25 inches tall, 5.25 inches wide, and 3.125 inches deep, and weighing 3.16 lbs (1.435 kg), it is a rare and remarkable example of early Southeast Asian bronze sculpture. A personal favorite of the collector, this piece is truly special—one of the finest examples of its period seen in decades, offering both historical significance and aesthetic excellence.
