Subject:Buddha!!!
Posted By: orup Tue, Jun 28, 2011 IP: 82.209.140.249 I think that this Buddha from Thailand. But is there anyone from the image can tell how old it may be. |

Posted By: Bill H Thu, Jun 30, 2011 This looks possibly to be Lao-style or perhaps from the Chiang Saen area. |

Posted By: orup Fri, Jul 01, 2011 I found this Lao Buddha on the Internet using the information I received. It is very similar and it is more than 100 years old. |

Posted By: Bill H Wed, Jul 06, 2011 I can't see anything that makes me think this Buddha is made for the tourist trade. Everything seems to be in the right place and the correct proportions. The dark patina of exposed bronze, as well as the general look of the gold leaf seem to me to reflect legitimate age and not the artificiality associated with products of antique factories in Northern Thailand. |

Posted By: orup Fri, Jul 08, 2011 Correction, Buddha is 29 cm high and not 29 inches. It was wrong in Google translation. |

Posted By: Jack Dragon Sat, Jul 09, 2011 This item belongs stylistically to the so called "U-Thong", C-group (there is a progression and evolution of styles through the "A", the "B", and finally the "C" group) of Thai sculptures. It is clearly a modern copy, meaning to simulate the antique prototypes that seem to be appeared at the beginning of 15th century. |

Posted By: orup Tue, Jul 12, 2011 I prefer to rely on Bill's information. The other information it feels a bit like pratical joke. But I thank you for all the information I have received. I'm sending a picture on the bottom of a Buddha from an ancient Buddha and it has some similarities to the underside of the Buddha I have. |
