UNUSUAL 19TH CENTURY NORTHERN THAI TEAK BUDDHA

19th century teakwood and polychrome buddha, from Northern Thailand environs. Might also possibly be turn of the century or early 20th. This is a very interesting piece stylistically, because it combines elements of Lanna, Lao, and Chinese buddhas. The collector we bought it from felt it was very unusual as well. It has patinated nicely, and has a very soulful face. It is a large size, 17"(42.5cm) high and 10 1/2"(26cm) wide at the base. A very commanding piece
