16TH CENTURY LAO BUDDHA FRAGMENT
LaosMATERIAL: BRONZE
SIZE: H 34 cm including stand (20 cm without stand) W 13.5 cm
This is a very good looking early buddha fragment with nice spinach green patina but unfortunately his Ushnisha (flame or radiance) is missing but like so many of these early Buddhas it has spent along time buried beneath the soil. It is cast in the classic Lao style of that period with a big nose and cheeky grin and a out of proportion large left hand which is common for that time. This is a really great piece and would be a great addition to anyones collection.
