Country House and Eastern Interiors has dated this Bronze Bodhisattva Avalokitesvara Statue to the 16th Century.
We have no doubt that this is a temple bronze. This superb bronze sculpture, a masterpiece of art, is in excellent original condition.
As is normal for early Javanese bronzes, it is cast in the lost wax casting method.
This magnificent bronze is 39 cm in height, or about 15 ½ inches. The base is 31.5 cm, or about 12 ½ inches wide by just over 20 cm, or about 8 inches in depth. It is very heavy weighing just shy of 10 kilo, or about 20 pounds.
It's a bit dusty my current ownership 14 years. Would look magnificent in any interior as a statement piece as it does in my collection.
These bronzes can be found in sales such as Galerie Zacke and the major london rooms.
It isn't priced at dear money for what it is and is a genuine example from the period stated.
