Item Details
Description
Southeast Asia, Thailand, ca. 20th century CE. A finely-detailed Buddha head cast from brass. The almond-shaped eyes, symmetrical nose, full mouth parted in a slight smile, and elongated ears give the Buddha a peaceful, contemplative expression. Multiple rows of curly hair frame his wide, smooth brow and extend to the back of his head, and atop is a prominent flaming ushnisha. A wonderful and striking example of the Buddha! Size: 4.5" W x 11.1" H (11.4 cm x 28.2 cm); 15.3" H (38.9 cm) on included custom stand.

Provenance: private Hawaii, USA collection, acquired from 2000 to 2010
