It represents an exceptionally fine example of the period. The Buddha wears a long flowing robe. His Ushnisha- or crown of hair- consists of an abundance of small raised knots on his head- a design element that is repeated in the adornments on the stepped base that supports the figure. The Buddha, with a serene expression on his face, stands upright with one hand extended outwards, his palm parallel with body and his fingers pointed skyward. The bronze sculpture has a beautiful and even all-over patina in 24 karat gold. This is a beautiful Buddha- perfect for any collector of Asian antiquities, or for someone looking for an exquisite object to decorate their home. Excellent vintage condition. Thailand, 19th century Dimensions: 30.5" height X 10" diameter. See less
