Antiques: Regional Art: Asian: Southeast Asian: Sculpture Pre 1700: item #753868
1814

The nimbus behind the Buddha and the way the ears follow the neckline to the shoulder are typical of later Mon sculpture. There was quite a bit of hard crusty stuff that I had to clean off that reveals a fine patina with traces of gilt. It will clean up further with a little patience and effort although I do not think that the gilding would salvageable if scrubbed and picked at too much. This ... Click for details

The elegant bhumiparsa mudra shows a strong affinity with early Ayutthaya Buddhas and his short earlobes are quite atypical but the spiky and neatly arranged curls on the head are found only on Lao Buddhas. Excellent condition, this piece came from a private home an... Click for details
