15th C. SUKKOTHAI BUDDHA
16 1/4 inches tall and 12 1/4 inches wide at the knees. The finest buddha we have ever handled, from the period considered to be the acme of Thai culture. Exquisite form and proportion; beautiful face. Exceptional dark green patina with red undertones (cuprite). Has old casting crack on left side of neck; does not detract in any way from the overall appearance. Museum quality is a phrase that is thrown around a lot, but this is it.
