Modelled in the round with celadon glaze, a nursing mother kneeling and naked with suckling child held to the left breast, the hair drawn back into a topknot, impressed eyes and mouth. Cf. Sukkham, A., ‘Si Satchanalai Figurines: Reconstruction of Ancient Daily Life, Beliefs, and Environment in Siam during the Sixteenth Century’ in International Journal of Historical Archaeology, Volume 22, no.4, pp.800-842, figs.1,2, for similar figurines. 135 grams, 92 mm (3 5/8 in.).
Acquired on the UK art market from various auction houses and collections mostly before 2000. From an important Cambridgeshire estate; thence by descent.
The Si Satchanalai figurines were one of the ceramic products produced by Si Satchanalai kilns located in the present-day area of Si Satchanalai district, Sukhothai province in the upper part of central Thailand. The characteristic features related to maternity and parenthood were represented in figurines of pregnant females and of couples (mother and father) with a baby. [No Reserve]
