Authentic 14/15thC Khmer Northern Thailand of a standing Buddha from the Ancient City that preceded Chian Seng in the North of Thailand. Probably made of a lead/silver alloy, but hard to know under the strong burial patina. Excavated with a cache of dozens of identical examples in a a container in the forest, probably in the early 1960's. I managed to acquire 8 of them. From a large collection put together in the 1960's and 70's. This is a spectacular example of an authentic amulet in a perfect small size-almost impossible to find. In a modern silver and plexi-glass amulet case. Amulet is 2 1/8 inches tall.
