- Lot Description
**First Time At Auction**
Southeast Asia, Thailand, Rattanakosin Period, ca. 19th century CE. A splendid brass Buddha seated in lotus position atop a tiered, triangular plinth enveloped in a lustrous gold-hued pigment. Gazing forth from downcast eyes, the tranquil deity displays the Bhumisparsha mudra, with his right hand over the right knee reaching towards the ground and the palm inward, while his left hand lies in his lap with the palm upright. This mudra represents the moment of his awakening, as Buddha defeated the demon Mara, and claimed the earth as his witness to his enlightenment. His serene visage is comprised of an arching brow, a pointed nose, slender eyes, and a gentle smile, all capped by a meticulously coiled coiffure and flanked by a pair of lengthy ears which symbolize his divinity. Size: 9.9" W x 14.2" H (25.1 cm x 36.1 cm)
This Buddha possesses the classic elements of Thai artwork from this period, when the region was ruled by one of the most powerful kingdoms in its history. Buddhas are shown seated on ornate pedestals and decorated extensively. This particular Buddha wears a beautiful costume with flowered details that are echoed on the front canopy of his throne. The Rattanakosin style is considered the continuation of the Ayutthaya style that rose after the destruction of Ayutthaya in 1767. Wood became less important than it was in the Ayutthaya period, and brass or bronze became the materials of choice.
Provenance: ex-Ashland University Museum, Ashland, Ohio, USA, donated to Ashland University between July 1994 to December 1998
