Bronze Buddha 236

Bronze Buddha 236

Larger beautiful sitting Awa bronze Buddha from Burma. Also called Tai Yai. This Buddha is sitting on a very large Throne in a rather unusual posture,  "healing teacher" or Bhisakta guru. Holding a nut in his right hand and in the left, a bowl with water. His oval face has a serene expression, the hair is peppercorn styled and at the top rises the usnisa (flame) shaped as a stupa. The robe is quit simple, and the ears are normaly going all the way down to the shoulders. But not on this Buddha. The patina is dark brown, nearly blackish. The Buddha is in a excellent condition. A collectors item.
