Vintage Thai Brass Sculpture "Flute Player"

This is a finely patinated brass sculpture titled "Musical Rhythm" by famous Thailand artist and sculptor Khien Yimsiri. This is not the original 1949 sculpture, but would have been one of a number of additional pieces created after Yimisiri's critical success. The piece is in excellent vintage condition with no noticeable flaws. 

What set Musical Rhythm apart is its fluid shape. The bronze material seems to be harmoniously moving with the music the young man is playing on his flute. His body is leaned back as if taking a breath in between notes, the gentle bend of his neck readying his perched lips to come into contact with his instrument. Musical Rhythm is considered to be one of the most beautiful modern Thai sculptures of its time.
