- Lot Description
Southeast Asia, Thailand, Rattanakosin period, ca. 18th to 19th century CE. A beautifully gilt and lacquered brass Buddha statue, cast over a pottery core, resting on a tall dais pedestal. The Buddha sits upright in the full lotus position, with his hands in the Dhyana Mudra, where both hands are placed in the lap with the palms facing upward. This pose symbolizes meditation and inner peace. Such a statue would have likely been placed in a shrine or temple and features a pair of rings on the verso for anchoring in place. Reflecting the classic elements of the Bangkok style (Rattanakosin), this piece embodies the artistic characteristics of the period following the fall of Ayutthaya in 1767. The Rattanakosin style is seen as a continuation of Ayutthaya, with gilded brass or bronze replacing wood as the preferred materials. The piece is in beautiful antique condition, with age-related wear to the surface. Size: 5" L x 3" W x 7" H (12.7 cm x 7.6 cm x 17.8 cm); gold quality: 2.6% to 3%
Provenance: : Private collection of important Hollywood family collected between 1930 and 1980.
