Late 19th Century Chinese Buddhist Bronze Luohan Head Vintage/Antique Weaponry and my other listed originalTraveling Man treasures is selling this antique Chinese bronze Luohan (Arhat) head, representing an enlightened disciple of Buddha. This fine example of late 19th century Luohan head is in weathered but stable condition and mounted on a wood block plinth display. The prominent stylized, wavy brow lines, clean shaven bald head, elongated earlobes, and serenely downcast eyes are textbook features of classical Luohan portraiture in Chinese Buddhist art.
