Bust of Buddha out of cast bronze. The head is full and the rest of the bust is very thick, almost 1 cm in some places, so the object is very heavy. The casting and the finish are beautiful. The mouth is inlaid with a reddish yellow metal that has not oxidized over time, probably gold, I could check and test the metal on request. The eyes were probably also inlaid because there are 2 deep incised line that are now filled with traces of white color. The ears are inlaid with a yellow metal that has oxidized, probably bronze. The top flame is removable, it is hollow and is maintained by a wooden tenon.Good condition, excellent antique patina, age-old bronze. Probably Siam but maybe Laos? Ayutthaya or shukotai period?
Hight around 45cm
