Item Details
Description
Southeast Asia, Thailand, Rattanakosin Period, ca. late 19th century CE. A finely-detailed Buddha head cast from brass. The almond-shaped eyes, symmetrical nose, full mouth parted in a slight smile, and elongated ears give the Buddha a peaceful, contemplative expression. Multiple rows of curly hair frame his wide, smooth brow and extend to the back of his head, and atop is a prominent flaming ushnisha. A wonderful and striking example of the Buddha! Size: 3.5" W x 7.7" H (8.9 cm x 19.6 cm); 9.5" H (24.1 cm) on included custom stand.
