This is a wonderful example of an original Antique Shan (Tai Yai) Bronze Buddha Figure from Myanmar formerly known as Burma.  This piece was purchased in Bangkok by my expatriate father in the early 1970's during the period of his life when he owned an antique shop in Penang, Malaysia.  He sourced his personal Buddha collection primarily from two well known & highly regarded dealers in Bangkok's Bang Rak District - Peng Seng and Anna's Antiques.  Please note the Burmese script on the back rear panel of the piece.  The figure most likely dates to before the 18th Century

Please review pictures closely in regards to the overall condition of this Buddha figure.  There is red paint on various areas of the figure as illustrated by the photos

Buddha Dimensions: 3 5/8 inches wide at the base, 7 1/4 inches high with depth of 2 inches.  Weight: 19.2 ounces
