Country Group: China, Japan and Korea
Pre-10th century Korean Buddha/Bodhisattva, originally fully covered in high-karat gilding (traces remain). The figure has a simple, serene, and beautifully composed face. The head appears to have been cast separately and then joined to the body—typical for early solid-cast Korean Buddhas. A very special early piece with strong presence.
Dimensions (Buddha alone): 5.125" H x 1.5" W, weight 260 g.
