Large Khmer Lopburi royal Buddha image in bronze. Thailand, early 20th century or earlier.
The Buddha's position, solemn in samapada, both hands outstretched in front of him in double abhaya-mudra, indicates his absence of fear. Although he is a renouncing being, he is here richly dressed and adorned, a trend that developed from the 12th century onwards. This unusual iconographic convention derives from Môn representations of the Buddha from the Dvaravati period. Crowned Buddhas of this type are associated with both Angkor and Lopburi Buddhist art.
The face features almond-shaped eyes and arched lips, flanked by large dangling earrings. The hair is structured in neat rows, like lotus petals, and is pulled up into a high conical bun, curved by an ornate crown.
Height without base 104 cm x W 37 cm x D 14 cm
Estimated weight 35 kg
Height with base 124 cm
Provenance: Estate of Claude de Marteau
Sold with certificate of provenance.
Please note: The bronze stands alone and unsupported, with or without its base. In both cases, it is essential to secure it for safety reasons.
