Very rare large Song to Early Ming Buddha constructed of adobe and sun baked clay. This piece has been in my personal collection for about 5 years, before that it had belonged to another private collector 10 years prior. It is a difficult piece to precisely date, but I will guarantee that this is no later than 15th CE. The previous owner claims this Buddha came from the Ningxia Autonomous Region and dates to the XiXia Empire (Tangut) 1038-1227 CE, personally I doubt that it is XiXia ...click for details

Rare and finely sculpted torso of the Buddha seated in the Bhadra asana from the Tang Dynasty. This is a classic piece which clearly illustrates the Gandharan Greek inspired influence on early Chinese Buddhist art. The head and lower portion of base have been cut off to remove an attempt to restore the image using contemporary commercial materials. H: 13.7cm/5.4in and W: 11.2cm/4.4in.

Very rare bronze image of a Chinese fairy holding a lotus leaf on his head. Lovely typically Ming round face with fine black patina. The two back supporting legs of the base look to be intentionally cut off some time ago as the cut edge is worn and well patinaed. Included is a museum quality custom made perspex base. Actual height without base is 16cm/6.2.

Fine small Ming bronze Buddhist devotee. This was part of larger altar table ensemble and looks to be cut away from a larger base. There are traces of red lacquer on the robes (please note that the red color is much more subdued in real life than the photos would indicate). The sculpture itself is in excellent condition and comes with a custom-made museum quality perspex stand. 7.8cm/3in actual height and 11cm/4.3in mounted on stand.
