Rare Ancient Khmer Phra Kling Bronze Statuette
This rare ancient statuette represents Phra Kling in a Khmer-inspired form. It comes from the Surin region, a territory in northeastern Thailand deeply marked by Khmer artistic and spiritual heritage.
The statuette is made of ancient bronze and exhibits a significant natural patina, acquired over time. The features of the Buddha, his high headdress, and the general form of the piece bear witness to a singular traditional style.
Phra Kling is depicted seated, holding a sacred sphere in his lap. A small opening visible in it suggests the presence of an ancient mineral relic. The original temple and the master who consecrated this statuette are now unknown.
