This is a superb Laos Bronze Buddha-He is quite unusual in that he is quite flat, although he stands quite well, and is very 3 dimensional in character. Interestingly, the face and spirit of this piece are exceptionally deep. I think this one is very old, although these are hard to date precisely- I’m guessing 16/17thth century on this one. He has traces of an inscription on the base. The body is solid cast and he is very heavy for his size. Stands a bit over 6 inches tall.
