Description

This antique bronze statue of a Thai Sukhothai Buddha stands 141 cm tall, showcasing the rich artistry of 18th century Thailand. With traces of original lacquer and exquisite 24 karat gilding, the statue reflects the aesthetic principles of the Sukhothai period, known for its graceful proportions and serene expressions.

The Sukhothai era, recognized as the birthplace of Thai civilization, flourished between the 13th and 15th centuries. During this time, the influence of Buddhism profoundly shaped the culture and artistry of the region. This statue embodies that influence, representing an important historical context where art was used to convey spiritual beliefs and ideals.

The Buddha's right arm is positioned in a manner that has been restored, further emphasizing the care taken in preserving this significant piece. The Vitarka mudra, which may be associated with this statue, symbolizes the discussion of the Dharma and the sharing of wisdom, reinforcing the importance of teaching and understanding in Buddhist philosophy.

Measuring 32 cm in width and 30.5 cm in depth, and weighing 52 kg, this statue is not only a visual centerpiece but also a significant artifact of spiritual heritage. Its design encapsulates centuries of artistry and devotion, making it a remarkable addition to any collection.
