Buddha head khmer style ?

francantolin · 22nd February 2018, 05:42 PM

Hello,

A friend gave me this buddha head,
he took it back years ago from Cambodia,
it's made of stone ( granit ? )

He told me it's an old ''reproduction'' piece ... 18th-19th century
height 40cm with stand weight 10-12kg

What do you think ?

When we talk about reproductions,
can we really know if it's recent or not ?
I saw so many recent pieces ''like'' this one on internet
( decoration stuff for the garden for example.)

Kind regards

It does look like a repo Khmer Buddha head to me.

Hello,
Thank you Battara !
Perhaps better with a ''zoom'' picture of the basis.

Kind regards
