Superb Northern Sukothai Buddha, probably from the Lanna Kingdom. Loss of the original base. As with many very fine early northern Thai Buddhas, the base was removed in the early days at a time bronze was scarce, probably to make another revered image. This seems to have done primarily with the best pieces. It matters little, as long as the actual image is intact.He is a bit over 8 inches tall by 4.75 inches wide at the knees- he is close to 10 inches tall including the base.
