Fantastic 17/18thC Northern Thai Stone Buddha. He is the best patina of any stone sculpture I have owned- it is one of the rare times there is almost no doubt of his authenticity- his lacquer and gilding are original, as is the associated natural wear. The carving is very good- the face is expressive, and the overall composition is successful. He sits close to 6 inches tall. I’ve seen many SE Asian stone Buddhas, but I have never seen another of his type. Very strong spiritual feeling
