A RARE AND LARGE BRONZE ALTARPIECE WITH THE CROWNED BUDDHA, THAILAND, 12TH-13TH CENTURYThe Buddha is finely cast standing in samabhanga atop a waisted lotus pedestal raised on a tiered rectangular base, both palms facing outward displaying vitarka mudra. He is crowned and bejeweled with a collar necklace and ornamental girdle around the waist, his long monastic robe (sanghati) and his lower garment (dhoti) hugging the contours of his body and falling in gently overlapping pleats at his ankles.The crowned Buddha stands inside a matching bronze shrine which consists of an intricately cast flaming aureole inserted into a stepped base. (3)Provenance: From a noted private collection.Condition: Good condition, commensurate with age. Old wear and casting irregularities. Small nicks, minor warping, minuscule losses, encrustations. The bronze covered in a rich patina with vibrant malachite, cuprite, and azurite encrustations. The mandorla with minor touchups. Export license: A copy of an export license issued by the government of the Kingdom of Thailand, no. E8-2543/2024, accompanies this lot.Weight: 3,323 gDimensions: Height 49.3 cmFrom 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.Portable images of the Buddha in the form of votives and altars were ubiquitous during the reign of King Jayavarman VII (r. 1181-1218), who had decreed Mahayana Buddhism as the state religion in Angkor, and who had directly linked himself to the image of the Buddha seated on a naga. Altars such as the present sculpture were typically cast in separate parts, the body, aureole and plinth which were joined using metal pins. Portable images, such as these, served as a significant part of the practice for Mahayana Buddhists during this time.Literature comparison: Compare a related Thai bronze figure of a standing Buddha, dated 12th-13th century, 49 cm high, in the National Museum of Asian Art, Smithsonian Institution, accession number F1976.11a-e.Auction result comparison: Type: Closely relatedAuction: Sotheby's New York, 20 September 2021, lot 376Estimate: USD 30,000 or approx.
