A BRONZE HEAD FRAGMENT OF BUDDHA, SUKHOTHAI STYLE, AYUTTHAYA PERIOD

Thailand, 14th-16th century. Sensitively modeled and finely cast, the serene face with heavy-lidded downcast eyes, elegantly arched eyebrows, an aquiline nose, and slender bow-shaped lips forming a calm smile, flanked by long pendulous earlobes. The hair is arranged in tight curls over the ushnisha.

During the 14th through 16th centuries, Thailand's Ayutthaya kingdom became one of the most powerful forces on mainland Southeast Asia. Continuing the artistic trajectory set forth under the Sukhothai, the Theravada polity sponsored the production of Buddha images fashioned in a new distinct style. The faces display a curvilinear contour with the hairline lower towards the sinuous browline accentuated by elongated ears flared at upper and lower tips. The eyes, extending evenly across the width of the face, are three-quarters closed to endow the figure with a sense of serenity that is at once inwardly directed and also engaged with the world.
