Description:

This original Song to Ming Dynasty ceramic tiled figure of a seated Buddha measures about 6 3/4 x 9 1/2 x 2 1/2 inches.

It is in very good condition with minor losses to the glaze in a few areas along with a few small rim chips.

This architectural piece was designed to be mounted in the wall of a shrine or temple and has a pattern of square shaped dovetails on the reverse for that purpose (see enlargement photo).

This museum quality piece consists of very dense stoneware covered with colored glazes in turquoise, aubergine and yellow.

This Buddha dates between the 12th - 14th century and possibly earlier.
