Antiquities

Here are details on some wonderful antiquities we've collected from around the world...

First Off, pictured to the left... this incredibly detailed, wonderfully hand carved Garuda...

Indonesia, late 19th-early 20th Century, Garuda with rider, polychrome wood, Ht.18". carved from a single block of wood.
From the collection of Armand Labbe, former curator at the Bower's Museum




Next Up... this wonderful Reclining Buddha (pictured below)



Thailand/Burma "The Reclining Buddha", late 19th - early 20th Century. A carved hard-wood with gold-gilding, inlaid glass accents. There are a few such Buddhas in SE Asia that are quite famous and, of course, of great age. L: 39", estimated width 6".

We'll show off more of our treasures in the future...
