Very small 15/16 century Thai Crystal Buddha. It has a wonderfully complex burial patina, which helps verify the significant age of the piece. I was tempted to try at remove more of the encrusted material so that the face and other details were more clear, but I knew it was better to leave it exactly as found. Take a look at the photos, they tell the story. I’ve never had an authentic crystal Buddha quite this small as they are extremely hard to carve in this size, especially at that time with the tools they had available. (1.375"H x 1"W X .5"D) - 35g.
