Description

A LARGE SANDSTONE HEAD OF BUDDHA, AYUTTHAYA, 14TH-15TH CENTURY

Gracefully carved with a gentle expression, the heavy-lidded eyes framed by curved brows meeting at center, straight nose, and contoured lips, the hair arranged in neat rows of curls rising to the domed ushnisha and surmounted by a lappet form band.

Provenance: From a private estate in Bayside, New York, USA.
Condition: Very good condition, commensurate with age. Wear, signs of weathering and erosion, encrustations, obvious losses, chips, scattered nicks and scratches. Remnants of ancient pigment.

Weight: 13,805 g (incl. stand)
Dimensions: Height 35 cm (excl. stand), 42 cm (incl. stand)

Conveying serenity and elegance is this large Buddha head from the Ayutthaya period (1351-1767). In its oval face and heart-shaped hairline, this sculpture recalls the features of Sukhothai sculpture, whereas the small nubs of hair and nuanced grin are more characteristic of the Ayutthaya style.

Literature comparison:
Compare a closely related sandstone head of Buddha, 14th-15th century, in Hiram Woodward, The Sacred Sculpture of Thailand, 1997, p. 179, fig. 179.
