Description
Southeast Asia, Thailand, Ayutthaya period, ca. mid to late 16th century CE. A beautiful and serene example of a cast-bronze Buddha head. The face is wonderfully-expressive, with downcast eyes, a petite nose, and full lips. The drooping-lobed ears are highly detailed as well, as is the hair, which is stylized in a distinctive curled pattern, with a prominent flaming ushnisha. The clear brow line and demarcated border around the hair are characteristics of typical Ayutthaya-period Buddha depictions. This sensitive illustration of the Buddha is enveloped in a verdant green patina, and only adds to the overall beauty of this example. Comes with custom wooden stand. Size: 4.625" H (11.7 cm); 6.5" H (16.5 cm) on included custom stand.
