15th/16th Century or Earlier Northern Thai Four-Sided Crystal Finial. Well carved in an early style, with strong form and clarity. I acquired this piece 25 years ago from a collector who specialized in early Southeast Asian crystal carvings. He owned two complete examples and one broken one, and had been told that four were originally made. Of the three he had personally seen, he considered this the finest.
A very rare, intact excavated temple piece, recovered with government approval in the 1960s. Authentic early crystal works of this type and condition are exceptionally uncommon.
Dimensions: 3.75" H × 3.25" D — 580 g.
Base: 5" W × 1.5" H — 360 g.
