Description
Southeast Asia, Thailand, Rattanakosin era, ca. late 19th to early 20th century CE. A cast brass Buddha statue upon a tiered pedestal with his hands in the classic Bhumisparsa "earth witness" mudra. This sculpture is rendered in the Bangkok Style (Rattanakosin) rendering, with a tranquil visage, flame-like motifs emerging from the shoulders and ears of the crown, beautiful robes with exquisite details to convey the kingdom's splendor. The hollow interior is filled with mortar material and eyelet hooks on the verso to anchor the statue in place, perhaps a public niche or shrine. Size: 14" L x 9" W x 21.5" H (35.6 cm x 22.9 cm x 54.6 cm)
