Description

This special antique bronze Thai Buddha statue, dating back to the 17th century during the late Chiang Saen period, exemplifies exquisite craftsmanship and profound cultural significance. Standing at 74 cm in height, this statue is gilded with 24-karat gold, highlighting the artisanal techniques that have been passed down through generations.

The mudra represented here is Bhumisparsha, or the "Earth Touching" gesture, symbolizing the moment of Siddhartha Gautama's enlightenment under the Bodhi tree. This gesture embodies the Buddha's commitment to seeking truth and serves as a reminder of his journey towards enlightenment, teaching the importance of perseverance and inner peace.

Originating from Thailand, this statue reflects the rich artistic and spiritual heritage of the region, where Buddhist art flourished, particularly in the Chiang Saen area. The intricately detailed floral motifs adorning the pedestal not only enhance its aesthetic appeal but also signify prosperity and growth, embodying the essence of Buddhist philosophy.

Weighing 31.4 kg and featuring a beautiful patina, this rare piece is in very good condition, making it a remarkable addition to any collection. Each element of this statue beautifully narrates a story, connecting the past to the present and offering a glimpse into the spiritual traditions of Thailand.
