About the Item

A rare and exquisite bronze figure of Buddha Avalokitesvara from the Karkota period of Kashmir, circa 800 AD. This finely cast sculpture depicts the bodhisattva crowned and bejeweled, wearing a distinctive three-leaf triangular crown, a hallmark of early Kashmiri craftsmanship. The delicate modeling and refined proportions reflect the high level of artistry characteristic of the Karkota dynasty, which was known for producing sophisticated Buddhist bronzes blending spiritual symbolism with technical mastery. The figure rests on a wood plinth and measures 4.5 inches high by 2 inches wide and 1.5 inches deep, weighing 265 grams. Its exceptional preservation, combined with its early date and rarity, makes it a highly significant example of early Indian Buddhist art. A museum-quality piece, it represents both historical importance and spiritual elegance.

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...
