Cambodian bronze water pot from Pursat Province, Cambodia 12th-13th CE- Khmer Period. This item was used during religious ceremonies for pouring water on Khmer icons and devotees in purification and blessing rituals. The truncated shape on this one is very unusual, only one of two I have ever seen. Please note; the spout on this is a clever restoration and is probably made from some sort of auto restoration product like Bondo. The hole in the body is original. Prior to this discovery it was li ...click for details

Very rare bronze image of a Chinese fairy holding a lotus leaf on his head. This may be a reference to having many sons as the image of a boy carrying a lotus over his shoulder is a common motif in Qing and Ming jade carvings. 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. There is an incised Chinese character inside the base but cannot make out what ...click for details

Good standing bronze image of a Khmer female deity (most likely Uma) holding a lotus bud in both hands, circa 13th century- Bayon style. This is, as we say, a fixer upper. One arm and the base have cleanly broken off during transit. Rather than repair and list with possibility that this might break again being shipped, I thought it better to sell as is with buyer doing this themselves (and then try and not to move it around too much). Fixing it would be fairly straightforward by just gluing back ...click for details

Good standing bronze image of a Khmer female deity (most likely Uma) holding a lotus bud in one hand, circa 13th century- Bayon style. This was possibly part of a larger ensemble as she has a plinth beneath the base, the piece in the other hand is missing but most likely it was another lotus bud. Included is a custom made perspex stand, H: 13.4cm/5.2in (not including stand). Reference- Heaven and Empire: Khmer Bronzes from the 9th to 15th Centuries by Marlene L. Zeffrys, Nicholas Zeffrys ...click for details

Pair of heavily potted red clay bowls excavated in Suphanburi Province, Thailand circa 500 CE or earlier. These are quite simple and I have seen similar pieces from the Ban Chiang culture, Udon Thani, Thailand. The smaller pot is in perfect condition while the larger one has a small old worn chip on the mouthrim. Small pot- H: 5.5cm/2.2in and D: 9cm/3.5in, larger pot H: 6.2cm/2.4in and D: 9.5cm/3.8in.

Quirky bronze frog from China, 300BCE-200CE. Most likely this piece is Dian Culture centered in Yunnan or possibly Dong Son since frogs are common motifs with the Dian and Dong Son peoples. Chinese chroniclers described both groups as being Southern Barbarians during the Western Han expansion, like the Romans of the same period, I get the impression that the Dian were “vassal” states in name only and were probably paid off by the Chinese to leave them alone. As of yet no one in Chinese arch ...click for details

Fine and quirky bronze image of seated monk, devotee, saint, acolyte or generic holy man with his hands held in the namaskara mudra. Elegant and simple this is a mysterious piece that can only be identified if seen in context with the other figures of an ensemble, (which I don’t have), this might well be a Jain saint. Anyway there is a small hole at base and dates to pre 18th CE. H: 5cm/2in and W: 4.1cm and 1.6in.
