From circa 1860-80 and from South Eastern Asia, most likely Thailand.

This is a hollow cast bronze head of Buddha, in the classic South East Asian design and style.

Evidence of genuine aging and oxidation, as one would expect. There is a hole in the Buddha’s forehead where once there probably was an inset jewel.

Mounted on a solid teak pyramid stand.

Provenance: From the private collection of a former New York Art Dealer, who moved to Dallas in the 1980’s. less
