Fine and large 17thC Thai Ayuthaya Bronze Buddha. Back leg (of the typical 3 leg type base) reattached. Rare to find this type in this big size-typically found in 5 to 10 inch size- I do not believe I've ever been able to acquire one more than 11 inches tall for an affordable price in 25 years of searching. This one is an impressive 18.25 inches tall. Most of clay core is removed so it is not too heavy. The green on the base and hands indicates minerals are leeching out of the bronze alloy. In another 200 to 300 years it is likely the entire statue will have a green patina. Very beautiful classic late Ayuthaya face. A personal favorite.
