Subject:What country is this buddha from.
Posted By: Benny Sun, May 03, 2015 IP: 80.195.217.45

Hello all, I have just come into posession of an old buddha, i was informed it was an Indian buddha, but someone else has said it could be Tibetan. Can anyone identify the country and age (if possible).

thanks for your help.

Your buddha is from India and seems old.But from what period it is hard to say,I am rather "specialized" in tibetan bronzes.Anyway it is very beautiful and good quality. Best regards, Rémy

Many thanks for the information. It does look old, although i am no specialist in oriental bronzes. But thansk for taking time to post a reply.

Hi,

Your Buddha is of the same style as one in the link. But may not of the same age.

Good luck

Dear Benny,
Sorry,in my last message you must read "Sridhar"instead of "Benny"!
Best regards to you,Benny.

Dear Sridhar,I don't agree with Benny when he compares the style of your buddha with the one on the link.Gandharan buddhas are greco-buddhist representations and yours is,I'd say,stylistically pure indian.
Best regards, Rémy
