279. Seated Bronze Thai Buddha (18th Century)

Beautiful complete bronze seated Thai Buddha. Figure is seated on an unusual base as it peaks up at the corners in almost a stylized Lotus form. The item is not cleaned and features a lovely overall patina. It is most likely from the 18th Century. The small knots seen on the head, generally referred to as curls are actually a helmut of snails that gathered to protect Buddha's head during his meditation. Apprx 20"H X 10-3/4" W, at base.
