Early Korean Bronze Buddha (though also could be Chinese). This bronze stands (not including the custom museum-style base) is 7.5 inches tall, and it is heavy for its size and seems to be mostly solid cast. The crown, face, and overall look suggest an extremely early dating-possibly up to 1000 years old. The face, especially around the eyes is in the "family" of Korean Buddhas. Very high-quality sculpting casting, and finishing. Patina looks correct for an early bronze. It would have stood over 15 inches tall!!- Worthy of further study. A museum piece. Brought back to the US by a Korean War vet in the early 1950's. 9687.- (1.47lbs / .665kg)
