Country Group: South and Southeast Asia (Thailand, Burma, Laos, Cambodia, India, Indonesia, Sri Lanka and Vietnam)
Large, finely cast Cambodian or Thai bronze Shiva- from the 14/15th century or a bit later-appears related to the Sukhothai Period in Thailand (which produced its Hindu bronzes related to this piece). Traces of original gilding remain - significant amounts are on the top of the hat. A large and striking example, which is quite big for this type of bronze- especially in sitting form. With his penetrating gaze, well defined beard, and very distinct look, he is a commanding figure like a few others. Holds a conch shell in the right hand. ( 10.5"H x 7.75"W x 5.5"D ) - 8.31lbs // Base: ( 1.75"H x 9"W ) 3.50lbs.
