18th Century Chiang Saen Mounted Bronze Buddha Head

Ca. 18th century Chiang Saen style mounted Buddha Head, from Thailand. The head is sensitively rendered with a softly contoured face and serene contemplative expression, with arched eyebrows bowed high towards the forehead, set above heavy-lidded eyes, rounded face, well-shaped nose, bow-shaped lips with a welcoming smile, and prominent elongated ears. The head is covered in thorn-like hair curls, surmounted by a Chiang Saen style 'Ushnisha'. The surface has a beautifully aged patina. The weight of the sculpture is higher than might be expected, due to the thickness of the bronze casting. The Buddha is mounted on a metal and wood base (later).
