拍品描述
A GILT-LACQUERED BRONZE FIGURE OF SEATED BUDDHA SHAKYAMUNI, RATTANAKOSIN KINGDOM
Thailand, reign of King Rama III, 1824-1851. Seated in virasana on a stepped lotus base with petal and floral decoration, his hands resting in dhyana mudra above the lap, the close-fitting sanghati finely cast with diapered floral designs and embellished in ‘gesso’ conveying a lavishly embroidered cloth, finely inlaid with red glass. The face showing a meditative expression with downcast eyes inlaid in mother-of-pearl, arched eyebrows, and a subtle smile, flanked by long earlobes, the hair tightly arranged in small spikes and surmounted by a flaming ushnisha.

Provenance: From an old German private collection, acquired before 2007.
Condition: Very good condition, some wear and flaking to the gilt, light scratches, small nicks, few dents, some inlays lost, casting flaws, and signs of weathering. A minor old repair to the peg at the lower end of the flame.

Weight: 20.5 kg
Dimensions: Height 67.7 cm

The flame is original to the statue but separately cast. (2)

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.
