Country Group:
15/16thC or later Thai Silver Buddha of good fortune. His name in Thai is Saenkajai (sp?). He is in a 15/16 century northern Thai style, though it is possible he was made in that area a century or two later-the patina looks correct come on and the sculpting casting and finishing are all what you would expect to see on a period piece. I've never seen a miniature example of this subject in silver. The test of a great miniature Buddha is that if you take a photo and blow it up, the figure will look the same as if it were a large Buddha. This one certainly looks larger than life. 1.625"H x 1.375"W - 60g
