The Buddha makes this gesture while seated in a half-lotus position.
Wonderful condition—beautiful face, refined expression, excellent detail - mother of pearl eye inserts and original lacquer, gilding and mirror inserts compliment this exceptional piece.

Gold Buddha

Exquisite post Khmer Cambodian gold Buddha sits on an in-scripted silver three-tiered lotus throne— and features attached elongated ears, conical Ushnisha and very finely worked detail. It demonstrates some Thai Ayutthaya influence common after the fall of the Khmer empire in the 15th Century.
It is made of gold sheet and silver—and filled with resin. No obvious repairs - the left hand side of the face has a small crease.
In style, appearance and condition—the piece is consistent with items produced from the mid 1700’s through to the late 1800’s.

Dry Lacquer Buddha

The dry lacquer technique produced finely modelled hollow figures that were both strong and light in weight. In the dry lacquer process was widely used in Burma from the 1700s through the early 1900s, the image was shaped from clay, then wrapped in a lacquer-soaked cloth. A pliable mixture of sawdust, lacquer and glue was spread over the cloth and the features were further defined with a small knife. After the outside layer hardened, the clay core was washed away and a high-grade reddish brown lacquer was applied, dried, polished and gilded.
This enormous Pagan-style head, which is softened by Ava influences, most likely was covered with gold leaf except for the hair. The hair is in a style called durian spikes because it resembles durian fruit. Worn spots on the face where black shows through the reddish brown lacquer give the piece a special appeal.
Whilst the piece appears to be authentically produced—it is not very old.
Standing 98 cm in height when on its display stand - it is a massive, dominating and most impressive piece and needs a lot of space to be properly displayed.

Size : 40cmx73cm
Aged : 20th Century
