18th C. Thai Ayutthaya Leaded Bronze Buddha Torso
Item Details
Description
Southeast Asia, Thailand, Ayutthaya Period, ca. 18th century CE. A fine leaded bronze Buddha from the waist up, a piece from a larger sculpture that perhaps resided in a shrine or temple. The hands are clasped in front, in a meditative pose, and the arms and neck are adorned with jewelry, including a curved pendant amulet upon his chest. His gaze is cast downwards and, although the fine details are soft, he has a serene expression - a road nose, full lips, and ears with elongated lobes. Upon his head is the flaming ushnisha headdress with frontal flanges. Buddha's depicted in royal attire tend to date from the later part of the Ayutthaya period and symbolize a story when the Buddha donned royal robes, crown, and necklace to convert a pagan king. Size: 4.8" L x 2.25" W (12.2 cm x 5.7 cm)

Provenance: Whisnant Gallery, New Orleans, Louisiana, USA acquired prior to 2000
