Large Bronze Buddha Head with Stand Thailand
-
Description
A impressive bronze Buddha head fragment displayed on wood stand circa late 19th century. The Buddha was cast in the early "U Thong" style that flourished between the 12-13rd century A.D in Central Thailand. The Buddha iconography of that period is exemplified by the influence from Mon and Khmer kingdom, featuring a more square face and a characteristic small band between the hairline and the forehead.
This large Buddha head is clearly a fragment of a full body statue. Its ushnisha on the top of Buddha's head was lost as well as part of the neck area shows losses over time. It is displayed on a double wood block base with steel rod (not fixed). The height with the stand is 32.5 inches and the head itself is 17 inches. -
