A BRONZE FIGURE OF BUDDHA SHAKYAMUNI, THAILAND, CIRCA 13TH-14TH CENTURYScientific Analysis Report: An XRF laboratory test report issued by Hebolabo, Pelt, Belgium, on 12 March 2025, based on verification analysis by EDXRF (energy dispersive x-ray fluorescence spectrometry), concludes that the statue “is made of leaded brass, originated in medieval Thailand (13th-14th century)”. A copy of the report accompanies this lot.Finely cast, the figure raised on stylized cabriole legs, seated in ardhpadmasana, his right hand in bhumisparshamudra, his left resting on his lap in dhyanamudra, wearing an uttarasanga which covers the left shoulder and crosses the chest diagonally, but leaves the right shoulder and right arm bare, the monastic garment densely decorated with foliate blossoms and the hems incised with scrolling vines enclosed within beaded bands.The serene face sensitively modeled with a meditative expression marked by downcast eyes with heavy sinuous lids and elegantly arched brows, his full bow-shaped lips forming a calm smile, flanked by long pendulous earlobes, the hair arranged in tight curls over the stylized spiral ushnisha and terminating in a faceted lotus bud.Provenance: From the private collection of Darwin Freeman, collected between 1968 and 1971, and thence by descent within the same family. Born 1946 in Idaho, United States, Darwin Freeman was a member of the armed forces and later became an avid collector. He met his wife in the mid-1960s, and the pair later relocated to her hometown of Innsbruck, Austria. In 1967, Freeman was drafted into the US Army and served in Germany and Thailand. While he was stationed at the Embassy in Bangkok, between 1969 and 1971, he actively began engaging in the exploration and collection of ancient bronzes and other works of art. Upon completing his duty, Freeman arranged for his collection to be shipped to Austria, where it remained in storage until this day.Condition: Good condition, commensurate with age. Old wear, casting flaws, signs of burial, encrustations, and areas of deep corrosion, with remnants of ancient gilding preserved in places. The bronze displays a distinctive, naturally developed patina with vibrant malachite encrustations. It is notably rare to encounter a sculpture retaining traces of early gilding while also exhibiting areas of such pronounced corrosion, a combination that strongly indicates a prolonged period of burial.Weight: 9 kg Dimensions: Height 45 cmAuction result comparison: Type: RelatedAuction: Christie's New York, 20 March 2019, lot 640Price: USD 25,000 or approx.
