<p>[QUOTE=&quot;2manybooks, post: 3857388, member: 8267&quot;]I am not a specialist in this area, but just comparing the heads visually it seems more likely to be Thai than Gandharan. The Gandharan art is more naturalistic, while the Thai has formal conventions such as the hard edges on the arched eyebrows, and around the lips. The treatment of the ears on yours seems like it might be a distinctive feature, but I have not been able to find comparative examples that have retained their ears, or that show them in the available photos.</p><p><br /></p><p>Dating a piece without provenience is challenging. I think you would need to have a specialist see it and be able to handle it to get a better idea. A great many reproductions come out of Thailand.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
