A LARGE (99 CM) COPPER ALLOY FIGURE OF BUDDHA, LAOS, 15TH-16TH CENTURYSeparately cast in three parts, seated in ardhapadmasana on a tall pedestal neatly incised with floral scroll to either side and raised on a tiered hexagonal base pierced with a foliate design. His right hand lowered in bhumisparshamudra and the left held above the lap in dhyanamudra, he wears a tight-fitting robe with a wide hem draped over the left shoulder.His face with a serene expression marked by heavy-lidded downcast eyes, elegantly arched brows, and full lips forming a calm smile, flanked by elongated earlobes, gently curling to the edges. The hair arranged in tight snail-shell curls arranged over the domed ushnisha and topped by a tall flame finial.Provenance: Collection of Dr. Helmut Ploog, Munich, Germany, acquired in 2007 and thence by descent. A copy of Dr. Ploog's collection card for the present lot with a short description and confirmation of the attribution and acquisition date stated above accompanies this lot. Dr. Helmut Ploog (1940-2024) was among the most influential and respected graphologists in the German-speaking world. Over the course of a distinguished career as an expert witness, educator, and author, he published a series of seminal works that are now regarded as standard references in the study of handwriting and character analysis. Beyond his professional achievements, Ploog cultivated a deep commitment to the arts. He assembled a notable collection of Asian art, including significant Chinese and Thai works. He donated part of his collection, among them several important Khmer sculptures, to the Weltmuseum in Vienna.Condition: Good condition with expected wear and casting irregularities, traces of weathering, encrustations, few minor losses, small nicks and surfaces scratches, light warping, minor fissures, extensive remnants of lacquer gilding. The bronze with a rich, naturally grown, lustrous patina with malachite and cuprite encrustations.Weight: 52.3 kgDimensions: Height 99 cmThe history and religion of Laos and northern Thailand share a various degree of assimilation and development. The founder of the Thai Lan Na Kingdom, King Mangrai, took Vientiane under his rule in the 13th century. Half a century later, the Thai exile Fa Ngum broke away and established the Lao kingdom Lan Xang Hom Khao. He is credited with bringing the Sinhalese Buddhism adopted in Northern Thailand to Laos. Similarly, Lao Buddhist sculpture borrowed heavily from northern Thai styles produced at centers of production like Chiang Mai. Within this context, it is not surprising that the present lot shows stylistic features common to both cultures.Literature comparison: The cut-out designs on its hollow pedestal are typical of Lan Na craftsmanship; an ellipse with eight scallops is one of the most favored shapes. For similar pedestals, see National Museum Volunteers Group, Treasures from the National Museum, Bangkok, 1987, p. 37, no. 50, and Stratton, Buddhist Sculpture of Northern Thailand, Chiang Mai, 2004, p. 65, fig. 3.86.Auction result comparison:?
