Very early Thai or Pre-Khmer Cambodian bronze Buddha head from the 9th/10thC. It has a sensitivity and finesse not often found in such early SE Asian sculptures. It is very large for a bronze head from this early period and quite heavy. The Buddha was probably standing and probably originally stood 12 to 15 inches high. It has a strong burial patina, as can be seen in the photos. Sits on its custom base. I've owned this piece since 1987, and it was the first expensive piece I purchased when I began collecting seriously. (3.75"H x 2.25"W x 2.25"D)-680g. / Base: 1.75"H x 2.25"W)
