Country Group:
Bronze and ancient glass Buddhist Stupa in the style of Gandara. The sections stack loosely together. I’ve never seen another of this type other than an associated group of four of them that were reportedly found along with a group of 8 smaller, mostly glass ones and one bronze one. The quality of all of the pieces is very good. The tiny Buddhas are well-sculpted, and the small animals are all well-sculpted, cast, and finished. I’m unsure as to the dating or origin of these. They were reportedly found deep in cave in or near Afghanistan. Purchased from a collector/seller who does not usually collect this type of art. Looking closely at the photos, I’ve never seen anything like them during my 35 years of collecting and selling. - ( 5.25"H x 2.75"W x 2.75"D ) -
