14TH C. U THONG "A" BRONZE BUDDHA There are three styles of U Thong buddhas, A, B, and C. By far the most common are the C forms, of which we have sold several. Please consult the archive for examples. The A style is the earliest and extremely rare. This is the outstanding buddha of our last buying trip, and of the year. It has a magnificent deep tobacco patina, and one of the most soulful faces I have ever seen on a buddha. Try as I could, I was unable to get a picture that really does justice to this piece. I am not even sure I wish to sell him, and the price reflects both the rarity and quality of this piece. He stands 9 1/2 inches high. The absolute best. Price upon request
