18th century Thai Buddha

Descriptio Finely chased gilt bronze. Measures 71 cm in height. Figure of Buddha standing on a raised stepped base, hands in abhayamudra, and draped in a sumptuous utarasanga decorated with floral motifs and jewels in relief. The face displays a serene expression and introspective gaze, crowned by a tall headdress with an ascending finial and wide ornamental side flaps. The stylized, vertical silhouette accentuates the spiritual character of the image, while the rich decoration of the attire reveals the courtly influence of the Ratanakosin Kingdom. The gilding and ornamental relief work lend the sculpture an intense ritual luminosity associated with 19th-century Thai Buddhist art. The work reflects the continuity of devotional traditions in Southeast Asia and the refined synthesis between spirituality and ceremonial luxury characteristic of Thai sacred sculpture. 71 cm.
