- Lot Description
Southeast Asia, Thailand or possibly Central Burma (modern day Myanmar, Mandalay culture), ca. late 18th to early 19th century CE. A hand-carved wooden figure, likely intended to represent a Buddhist monk or devotee, with the outline of a sash over the right shoulder, a delineated waist band, and a wide lower body - perhaps intended to be 'dressed' with robes. The figure presents a tranquil visage with lowered eyes, an aquiline nose, arched brows, closed full lips, and finely delineated ears and hairline. A wonderful example that has developed a beautiful age patina over the years. Size: 16.375" H (41.6 cm); 20.125" H (51.1 cm) on included custom stand.
This piece may be of Thai or Mandalay origin. As is characteristic of Mandalay figures, this monks' downturned eyes are set far apart, his hairline runs from ear to ear, and his visage emanates tranquility. Mandalay style was influenced by the Thai and Arakan style as craftsmen from Thailand were brought to Burma in the mid 1700s in large numbers due to their paramount carving skills. These artisans developed their own unique style blending Ayutthaya and Arakan influences. A refined figure exemplifying Buddhist spiritual art!
