拍品描述
A GILT-BRONZE HEAD OF BUDDHA, KINGDOM OF AYUTTHAYA (1351 - 1767)

Expert’s note: Between the 14th and 16th centuries, Thailand's Ayutthaya kingdom emerged as a dominant power in mainland Southeast Asia. Building on the artistic foundations laid by the Sukhothai, the Theravada Buddhist state sponsored the creation of Buddha images in a distinctive new style. These figures are characterized by curvilinear facial contours, with the hairline positioned lower, accentuating the sinuous brow line. The elongated ears, flared at both the upper and lower tips, and the eyes—three-quarters closed and extending evenly across the face—imbue the Buddha with a serene expression that is both introspective and subtly engaged with the world.

Thailand, c. 16th-17th century. Finely cast, his serene face with heavy-lidded downcast eyes, long sinuously arched brows, an aquiline nose, and full lips forming a calm smile flanked by long pendulous earlobes, all detailed with elegantly curved lines and covered in gilding. The hair arranged in tight snail shell curls over the domed ushnisha.

Provenance: From a private estate in Florida, United States.
Condition: Good condition with wear and casting irregularities, flaking and rubbing to gilt, small nicks, obvious losses. Solid, naturally grown patina.

Weight: 11.8 kg (incl. stand)
Dimensions: Height 27.5 cm (excl. stand) and 43 cm (incl. stand)

With an associated wood stand. (2)
