Personal favorite- from the kingdom of Nan in Northeast Thailand, this special large 18/19 thC Buddha exudes a joyful exuberance like few others. His extremely large head gives him a child-like appearance. Measures 24 inches tall x 15 inches across x 7 inches deep. Larger than dimensions convey due to stout body, almost no base, and short finial-actual body is the size of a typical sitting 36+ inch Thai Buddha. Finial likely repaired. Superb patina. Never seen another quite like him. Special.
