Item Details
Description
**Originally Listed At $300**

East Asia, Thailand & Japan, ca. early to mid-20th century CE. A pair of miniature gilt nickel-brass and brass Buddha statues. The slender Thai statuette is modeled after the Phra Buddha Chinnarat statue residing in the famous Wat Phra Si Rattana Mahathat temple, which is considered to be one of the most beautiful buddha statues ever created. The Japanese Buddha is stylistically plump and rounded, seated upon a pedestal before a large and ornate mandorla arch with curvilinear shapes that represent the swirling clouds. These statues are perfect for a home shrine - the Japanese buddha is worn from touch, as if it was often rubbed for luck. Size of Phra Chinnarat: 1.5" W x 2.5" H (3.8 cm x 6.4 cm)

Provenance: private San Francisco, California, USA collection, acquired 1970s to 2000s
