18th Century Chiang Saen Mounted Bronze Buddha Head

[ translate ]

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). Please contact us for high resolution images of the piece.

Provenance: Private UK collection

Medium: Stone

Dimensions: 30cm / 12"

General Condition: Good condition. Consistent with age.
