Antique bronze Buddha statues and gilt Buddhist sculpture

Bronze has been one of the most important materials in Buddhist art for centuries. Regional workshops developed their own proportions, facial types, robe treatment, lotus bases and casting traditions. Thai bronzes may reflect Ayutthaya, Lan Na, Sukhothai or Rattanakosin influence, while Himalayan examples can show Nepalese, Tibetan or Sino-Tibetan workmanship.
