A GILT-LACQUER BRONZE FIGURE OF BUDDHA SHAKYAMUNI, RATTANAKOSIN KINGDOM
Thailand, reign of King Rama III, 1824-1851. Seated in virasana, his right hand lowered in bhumisparsha mudra and his left held in dhyana mudra above his lap, his close-fitting sanghati finely cast with diapered floral designs and embellished in ‘gesso’ with floral roundels (pha lai) conveying a lavishly embroidered cloth. His serene face with heavy-lidded eyes below gently arched brows and full lips forming a calm smile, flanked by long pendulous earlobes, the hair arranged in tight curls over the ushnisha surmounted by a separately cast ketumala.

Provenance: Galerie Claude Jongen, Belgium, by 1977. Gustaaf Wauters, Belgium, acquired from the above, and thence by descent to his son Godfried Wauters, who has been active in the Belgian trade for over 40 years. He has built a substantial art collection including Chinese and Buddhist sculptures, significantly expanding on the collection already built by his late father Gustaaf (1905-1992).
Condition:
Very good condition with minor wear and casting irregularities, minor flaking to gilt, few minuscule nicks, small dents, occasional light scratches.

Dimensions: Height 92 cm (incl. flame)

Buddha images wearing such patterned robes, a symbol of royalty, were introduced during the reign of King Rama III (reigned 1824-1851), and disappeared thereafter. It is thus most likely that this majestic sculpture was one such royal commission produced under King Rama III’s reign.

Literature comparison:
See further examples of Rattanakosin-period gilt-lacquer bronze Buddha images discussed in Rod-Ari, The Buddha as Sacred Siamese King: Brocaded Buddhas of the Third Reign, The Walters Art Museum Journal, vol. 73, 2018, figs. 1-5.
