Exceptional Buddha- one of the best large Buddhas in the collection. A Northern Sukothai style-- a hybrid of Northern Thai style (Chen Sen Style) and Sukothai from central Thailand. Shows remains of original black lacquer and gilding, as well as an unusual reddish patina that suggests that it was a through fire long ago--likely a temple fire(not uncommon for a Buddha to experience fire during its 600-year life). I've had many Buddhas that have been in fires--some only singed, others ruined. This one transformed in a wonderful way. Strong casting and finishing of a very high standard from a major foundry. Large and extremely heavy at 23 inches x 12 inches x 17.5 inches. Larger than the dimensions suggest. A major Buddha with a powerful presence. ( H 23.25"x W 17.25"x D 11" ) Larger than the dimensions suggest. A major Buddha.
