Maravijaya Buddha in bronze with a malachite green patina, sometimes with beautiful shades of ruby oxidation (probably cuprite). Laos, 18th century, Kingdom of Luang Prabang.
Bronze Buddha statues from Laos are rarer: Laos had a more limited production in terms of quantity compared to its neighbors, such as Thailand or Burma. Many statues were melted down or destroyed during the conflicts that marked the country's history. Finally, the conservation and preservation of heritage in Laos have not always been a priority, which has contributed to this rarity. All these reasons make Laotian bronze Buddhas particularly valuable and sought-after.
