This is a substantial mid-20th century Thai bronze sculpture of the epic hero Phra Aphai Mani. Crafted using the lost-wax technique, the statue depicts the legendary prince in a characteristic pose, often shown playing his magical flute.
The piece exhibits the detailed work which is common in Thai figurative bronze work of the period, likely featuring elaborate robes, headwear, and a serene facial expression consistent with depictions of mythical figures. Its large scale makes it a significant decorative or collector's item. The bronze finish may feature an aged patina reflecting traditional Southeast Asian art which is adapted to the mid 20th century market. Dimensions and weight confirm its imposing presence. Condition is consistent with age and material, showing wear and patina.
