18thC Sri Lanka Solid-cast bronze Buddha. This piece measures 7 7/8" tall and 10 1/8" on its custom base. A good example in this size. Lankan Buddhas like this are very hard to find this well modeled, cast, and finished. The Buddha fits into the base and can be jiggled to stand evenly, but could use a piece of cloth or something else wrapped around the part that goes into the base to make it snug and to stand evenly. Excellent shape, except the missing finial and original base.
