Country Group: The Himalayas (Tibet, Nepal, Mongolia and Other)

Item id: 8567

Fine and rare antique copper alloy Tibetan Buddha in 14thC style. Measures 6.5 inches tall, 7.5 on custom stand. Leans to one side- Custom stand corrects for this and allows figure to sit straight (only one photo shows the piece sitting straight with the stand- the others were taken before I had the stand made). Very special early Himalayan face radiates a sense of joy that is palpable. It is of a quality only found in high quality Tibetan sculptures. Has a special glow and presence. A long time personal favorite. Part of my personal collection being put up as I prepare for retirement. If it does not sell in the next month will be sent to high end auction. Various opinions on whether is truly 14thC or later. I believe it has real age,but leave it to you to judge the photos. I've lowered the price dramatically due to the debate about age.
