Lot Description
An unusual Burmese bronze figure of a seated Bodhisattva
Shan states, 19th century or earlier
The figure with a tall crown of elongated leaf-form panels, centered by a tall spire, a pair of elaborate pierced and scrolled wing-like streamers from either side above the ears, the eyes lowered to gaze upon the open hands with elegantly tapered fingers, wearing elaborate necklaces and scrolled bracelets, the tendrils of hair gatherered above the shoulders; seated on a slightly domed oval base incised with vertical lines, encircled by a band of circular motifs above a double row of pendant lotus petals and further incised lines, the metal with a rich brown patina and remnants of red lacquer and gilding.
H: 30 1/2, L: 23, D: 13 in.
