Description

? A BRONZE SHRINE OF BUDDHA, THAILAND, LOPBURI STYLE

Thailand, circa 18th-19th century or earlier. Cast in several pieces, the Buddha depicted seated in ardhapadmasana on a double-lotus pedestal raised on an elaborate stepped base, his right hand lowered in bhumisparsha mudra, the left resting above his lap, dressed in a diaphanous sanghati draped over the left shoulder, the face with a downcast benevolent expression detailed with full lips under heavily lidded eyes, all under a sinuously arched unibrow, the coiled curls modeled over the domed ushnisha modeled in the form of a flower and terminating in a conical jewel, backed by an intricately cast two-part flaming aureole finely worked with meditating figures.

Expert’s Note:
The figure exhibits a high casting quality and a fully natural surface patina, yet it lacks the characteristic deep corrosion typically found on earlier bronzes. For this reason, while it is undeniably an antique and a fine work of art, it cannot be conclusively excluded that the piece may be a revival work produced during the Rattanakosin Kingdom (established 1782), or possibly during the late Ayutthaya Kingdom (1350–1767). Alternatively, it may be an heirloom object that has been carefully preserved and handed down through generations, thereby avoiding the environmental conditions that normally lead to more pronounced corrosion. If this is the case, the sculpture could indeed date back to the 12th or 13th century. From a stylistic standpoint, the iconography is entirely consistent with works from this early period, supporting the possibility of an earlier origin.

Provenance: From a noted private collection in Singapore.
Condition: Very good condition with wear, commensurate with age. Casting irregularities, small nicks, minor warping, minuscule losses, encrustations. The bronze covered in a rich patina with vibrant malachite encrustations.

Weight: 3,877 g
Dimensions: Height 43 cm

From the mid-tenth up until the thirteenth century, the Khmer empire controlled a large swathe of territory in present-day Thailand, which was strategically positioned along trade routes. Thus, the three hundred and fifty years of Khmer influence, particularly in the Dvaravati province, with its capital centered in Lopburi, largely dominated the art and architecture of the region. Both Mahayana Buddhism and Hinduism flourished at various times and alongside one another under the Khmer rulers, with associated monuments hewing close to the prevailing Khmer esthetic style, as evidenced in temples such as Buddhist Prasat Phnom Phimai and Shaivaite Prasat Phnom Rung.

Portable images of the Buddha in the form of votives and altars were ubiquitous during the reign of King Jayavarman VII (r. 1181–1218), who had decreed Mahayana Buddhism as the state religion in Angkor, and who had directly linked himself to the image of the Buddha seated on a naga. Altars such as the present sculpture were typically cast in separate parts, the body, aureole and plinth which were joined using metal pins. Portable images, such as these, served as a significant part of the practice for Mahayana Buddhists during this time.
