13th century Lopburi Thai Bronze Buddha (a transitional style between Khmer and Thai). This is a very thinly cast example, as bronze was extremely scarce during some periods in Thailand. They also removed the bases from some Buddhas (including this one) during some early periods in many parts of Thailand to make other Buddhas (due to the scarcity of metal). Based on the patina, it may have been in a fire, though the classic face and high quality of the sculpting come through clearly. Some casting flaws show that would have been covered with lacquer and gilding when the statue was originally made. Extremely high quality example of its type. ( 5.5"H x 3.5"W x 2.5"D ) - 1.39lbs/630g - (Base: 4.375"x3"x1.25") . Includes recent custom museum style base
