Antique bronze Buddha head
Pocket-sized votive fragment of Buddha head in the Lopburi/Khmer style
It has conical, tiered crown (mukuta), a prominent rim across the forehead, elongated earlobes with decorative pendants, and the relatively square jawline with serene, downcast eyes.
Lopburi was a major regional hub heavily influenced by the Khmer Empire during the Angkor period. Art from this era blends traditional Mon-Dvaravati aesthetics with distinct Khmer styles.
The dark, mottled green and brown patina on the metal surface is typical for ancient Southeast Asian bronzes that have undergone long-term oxidation.
The head is mounted on a wooden base
Total weight of 277 grammes
Dating back to the 12^th– 14 ^th century
