Antique 18th Century Sukhothai Bronze Buddha Head
Ca. 18th century Sukhothai style 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, a narrow well-shaped nose, bow-shaped lips with an insipid smile, and prominent elongated ears. The head is covered in thorn-like hair curls, surmounted by a flamed 'Ushnisha', in the Sukhothai tradition. The surface has a beautifully aged patina. The Buddha is mounted on a metal and wood base (later). For it's age and delicacy the sculpture is in excellent condition. 
Provenance: Ex- private UK Collection.
