Description

This antique bronze Thai monk statue stands at 33.5 cm tall and showcases exquisite craftsmanship, gilded with 24-karat gold. Originating from Thailand during the 19th century, specifically the Rattanakosin period, the statue is a remarkable representation of Buddhist art and culture.

The Bhumisparsha mudra, depicted in this sculpture, symbolizes the moment of the Buddha's enlightenment, reflecting a deep sense of spiritual awakening and the promise of peace. With a width of 26.4 cm and a depth of 15.8 cm, the statue conveys a profound reverence for the teachings of Buddhism, making it a significant piece for collectors and spiritual enthusiasts alike.

Thai art, particularly during the Rattanakosin era, is characterized by its intricate detailing and symbolic significance. This period is notable for its blend of traditional Buddhist elements with local influences, resulting in rich iconography and styles. The bronze medium, along with the application of gold leaf, not only enhances the beauty of the piece but also reflects the ancient techniques employed by artisans of the time.

Weighing 7.18 kg, this statue is a testament to the enduring legacy of Thai craftsmanship and its cultural relation to spirituality. It invites contemplation and serves as a cherished addition to any collection that appreciates the historical and spiritual significance of Buddhist art.
