Country Group: China, Japan and Korea
Antique Chinese or Korean Bronze Buddha. Very good example of its type. 5.25 inches tall. Looks to have originally had stones or beads down the center of the front and in the forehead. I originally listed as Korean, but Koller, the well respected Swiss Auction house, has a nearly identical example-slightly smaller at 4 and 7/8 inches-in their June 2016 auction (lot 175) with a pre-estimate of 2000 to 3000 Swiss dollars. They describe theirs is 6th century Sui, and Chinese. Koller often gets much higher than their pre-auction estimates. The last photo below is of the Koller example up for auction. Please see 6721 and 5265 for related examples.
