Exceptional Early Large Korean Buddha, I cannot date it specifically, but it could be as early as 10-13C. It is remarkably heavy ( the base is filled with lead). Please let me know if you have any comparable examples of this age in this size for sale anywhere, as I have been unable to find any comps myself. "No arms/hands, but may have existed inside the robe (you can see on the right side facing you an area where something may have been attached where a forearm would have been connected. It is a combination of both basic and advanced casting and sculpting (feet are small and simple, plus there is a seam on the side of the head. At the same time, the lotus petals on the base are crisp and have real finesse, and the face conveys a great sensitivity that radiates equanimity and deep calm. It does this while keeping the lines and planes of the face simple and clean. A deeply spiritual object.( 11.75"H x 3.25"W x 3"D ) - 6.09lbs. // Base: ( 1.5"H x 4.5"W ) 265g.
