Description
Superb large antique Javanese bronze Buddha. The previous owner purchased it from a reputable Australian auction house. They dated it to the 13th century. I believe it is quite old, but not that early. It looks to be 18th/19th century or earlier- the bottom edge looks correct- smooth as glass, with high points worn with time. Significant for its type at 13 inches tall by 8 inches wide at the base. There is one original flaw in the lap behind the robe. It is in outstanding condition, with an excellent patina. Note the finesse in the fingers and a toes-a a sign of a quality sculpture, Wonderful face, and great overall feel to this unique bronze. It is much more heavily cast than the 20th-century emulations, and tourist pieces have a good weight to it-much heavier than the 19th and 20th examples I have seen. Unique Mudra.
