- Lot Description
Southeast Asia, Thailand, Rattanakosin, ca. 18th century CE. An exquisite gilt brass Buddha seated in half lotus position atop a seven-tiered throne comprised of six rows of his followers with five larger disciples seated at his feet. Draped in a robe, the Buddha's visage embodies the pinnacle of tranquility with full lips, a pointed nose, and slender eyes under a sweeping brow, all flanked by a pair of ears with lengthy lobes, symbolizing his enlightenment. The Buddha displays the dhyana mudra, with both hands in his lap and the back of his right hand resting in his left palm. This mudra, also known as the samadhi mudra or yoga mudra, is used for meditation and symbolizes wisdom. In addition to its spiritual meaning, the artistry is beyond impressive - just look at those never-ending details embellishing the Buddha's robe, as well as the meticulously curled coiffure with finely delineated flame ushnisha - and of course the brilliant gilding! Clearly this is a work of art that took hours upon hours to create! Size: 12.325" W x 13.625" H (31.3 cm x 34.6 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 Ratanakosin 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 Ayuttaya period, and gilded brass or bronze became the materials of choice.
