Published and exhibited: Famarte, A Way to Enlightenment, Brussels, May 2018, p. 18-19, no. 8.Expert's note:Kamphaeng Phet was one of the principal fortified cities of the Sukhothai Kingdom and later an important provincial center under the Ayutthaya Kingdom. Located along the Ping River in northern Thailand, it served both as a strategic military outpost and a major religious center. Numerous temples and monasteries were established there, many producing distinctive Buddha images in bronze and terracotta. Today the remains of the city form part of the Kamphaeng Phet Historical Park.Thailand, 14th-15th century. Seated in ardhapadmasana atop an integral pedestal with tripod feet, the right hand in bhumisparsamudra, his left resting in his lap, dressed in an uttarasanga which covers the left shoulder and crosses the chest diagonally, culminating in a fishtail pleat. The face with an introspective expression, with accentuated pouting lips, heavy-lidded eyes beneath arched eyebrows, an aquiline nose, flanked by long earlobes, the hair arranged in large snail-shell curls over the gently domed ushnisha and topped by a flaming siraspata.Provenance: A private collection in Switzerland, since the 1980s. Farah Massart, Famarte, Belgium, by 2018. Farah Massart is a gallerist and expert in Asian art whose passion began more than thirty years ago while traveling extensively across Asia. After earning a degree in languages and building a career in business management, she reoriented her life toward Southeast Asian and Indian art, founding her gallery Famarte in 2012. Now based in Meise near Brussels with a summer pop-up in Knokke, Famarte specializes in high-quality sculpture, ritual objects, and contemporary Asian art, welcoming collectors in a personal setting. Farah regularly participates in international art fairs and exhibitions, sharing her expertise and dedication with a global community of collectors and enthusiasts.Condition: Very good condition with wear and casting irregularities, small nicks, light scratches, soil encrustations, surface corrosion, and expected flaking to the gilt. The lacquer gilding is clearly ancient, though it has most certainly been renewed over time, likely on several occasions. The bronze with a fine, naturally grown, smooth patina with scattered malachite encrustations.Weight: 831 g Dimensions: Height 21.4 cm Established in 1238, the Sukhothai Kingdom enjoyed a brief but artistically brilliant period of independence until it was gradually absorbed by the rising Ayutthaya Kingdom, a process completed in 1438. Guided by the reformist influence of Sinhalese Theravada Buddhism, which spread widely across mainland Southeast Asia in the 13th century through monastic networks linking Sri Lanka with the ports of the Bay of Bengal and the Andaman Sea, Sukhothai sculptors returned to ancient poetic descriptions of the mahalakshana (“signs of a great man”). Drawing on these textual ideals, they developed a new, highly refined Buddha image that departed from earlier Mon and Khmer sculptural idioms. One of the most distinctive features of this style is the flame-like ushnisha, a motif that reflects this broader religious and cultural exchange with Sri Lanka.Literature comparison: Compare a related Sukhothai bronze figure of Buddha, dated to the 15th century, 41.7 cm high, in the Walters Art Museum, accession number 54.2774.Auction result comparison: Type: Closely relatedAuction: Christie's Amsterdam, 19 November 1997, lot 110Price: NLG 16,144 or approx.
