Bronze Head of Vishnu, Java, possibly 19th century
Estimated value: €1,100 – €1,600
A bronze head of a crowned Hindu deity, probably Vishnu, hollow cast as a standalone sculptural fragment. The head displays a richly detailed crown with layered bands, decorative reliefs, and a calm, symmetrical facial expression. The subdued gaze, elongated earlobes, and royal headdress suggest a Hindu deity rather than a monastic Buddha representation. Within this context, identification as Vishnu is plausible. The surface exhibits a natural, weathered patina with subtle color variations and wear. The interior is open and unfilled, without visible modern interventions. Form, technique, and finish place this object within the broader Javanese and Southeast Asian bronze sculpture tradition.
A characterful bronze Vishnu head with clear sculptural quality, suitable for collectors of Asian and Indonesian art.
