Description

A LARGE AND IMPORTANT BRONZE FIGURE OF A CROWNED BUDDHA IN ROYAL ATTIRE, ANGKOR PERIOD, LOPBURI STYLE, 12TH-13TH CENTURY

Thailand. Finely cast standing in samapada, both arms thrust forward with the hands held in abhaya mudra revealing chakras on the palms, dressed in a sheer robe that hangs gracefully from his forearms, with a beaded pleat and tapering hems, adorned with foliate belt and jewelry, the face with almond-shaped eyes and bow-shaped lips, flanked by elongated earlobes with large pendeloque earrings, the hair arranged in neat petal-like rows pulled up into a high conical chignon and secured with an ornate crown.

Provenance: The collection of Hermann Schr?der, Aachen, Germany, acquired circa 1980, and thence by descent in the family. Prof. Dr. med., Dr. phil. Hermann Schr?der (1902-1991) was a German physician, pharmacologist, and university professor. He built an impressive collection of Buddhist sculpture during the second half of the 20th century, which was further expanded by members of his family.
Condition: Superb condition, commensurate with age. Wear, casting irregularities, obvious losses, minor signs of weathering, scattered corrosion, minor nicks and scratches. Remnants of old varnish. With a spectacular patina overall, naturally grown, with distinct malachite and turquoise encrustations.

Weight: 12.4 kg (incl. stand)
Dimensions: Height 52.1 cm (excl. stand), 61.9 cm (incl. stand)

Mounted on an associated hardstone stand, dating from the second half of the 20th century. (2)

From the mid-tenth up until the thirteenth century, the Khmer empire controlled a large swathe of territory in present-day Thailand, which was strategically positioned along trade routes. Thus, the three hundred and fifty years of Khmer influence, particularly in the Dvaravati province, with its capital centered in Lopburi, largely dominated the art and architecture of the region. Both Mahayana Buddhism and Hinduism flourished at various times and alongside one another under the Khmer rulers, with associated monuments hewing close to the prevailing Khmer esthetic style, as evidenced in temples such as Buddhist Prasat Phnom Phimai and Shaivaite Prasat Phnom Rung.

The image of the Buddha in royal attire, with both hands raised, appeared in late Khmer art around the mid-12th century. This unusual iconographic convention derived from Mon representations of the Buddha of the Dvaravati period. The richly ornamental figure type finds its immediate precursor in the lintel reliefs of Pimai, a 12th-century provincial Khmer center in eastern Thailand. Crowned Buddhas of this type are associated with both Angkor and the Buddhist art of Lopburi. The large size of the present statue makes it extremely rare.
