Lot Essay
The remarkable group of Buddhist bronzes from Pra Kon Chai in southeast Thailand reflect Cambodian, Thai, and Indian influences.
Many of the larger pieces of the Pra Kon Chai type contain varying degrees of silver and only the extremely rare small pieces have an almost pure silver content; compare with a small figure from the Kronos Collections, see M. Lerner, The Flame and the Lotus, 1984, cat. no. 35, p. 100f.
