Description
Special set--antique Korean bronze trio--a bodhisattva, buddha, and monk. Likely 17/18thC. I've only seen examples of these sets in books before. The bodhisattva measures 4 inches tall and its bottom measures 2 1/2 inches by 2 inches at its widest point (without its detachable base). Buddha measures 4 1/2 inches tall and its bottom measures 2 1/4 inches by 2 inches at its widest point (without a detachable base). The monk measures 3 5/8 inches tall and its bottom measures 2 5/8 inches by 2 inches at its widest point (without a detachable base). The bottom of the base measures 9 1/2 inches by 4 inches, and 10 1/2 inches by 5 inches on its custom base recently made by a skilled base maker. The bottom of each piece has a small piece of wood custom-made to tilt each of the pieces slightly back so you can see the faces more fully. I had these made by the base maker. Finely sculpted, cast, and finished. Special. These figures have real charisma. Museum or book-worthy.
