Description

A RARE AND LARGE BRONZE FIGURE OF BUDDHA, SUPHANBURI PERIOD

Thailand, 13th-15th century. Heavily cast standing in samabhanga, his right hand raised in abhayamudra, while his left gracefully extended alongside his body, wearing a diaphanous sanghati secured with a sash around the waist and flaring downward in a gently undulating hemline. The face bearing a serene expression with downcast eyes, broad nose, round lips forming a gentle smile, and elongated earlobes. The curly hair neatly arranged, surmounted by a conical ushnisha.

Provenance: French fine art trade. Previously in a private collection and estate in Paris, France.
Condition: Good condition with ancient wear, expected casting irregularities, and signs of weathering and erosion. Small losses and cracks, shallow surface scratches, nicks, and possibly minor old repairs. The heavily cast bronze overall with a naturally grown patina.

Weight: 4.9 kg
Dimensions: Height 46.1 cm

This rare bronze figure represents the founder of Buddhism, Gautama Siddharta. He wears no jewelry, a common feature of representations of the Buddha in early Thai art. His face displays a strong influence from twelfth century Khmer art as well as thirteenth century Mon tradition from Haripunjaya in the Lamphun province. This specific stylistic group was formerly known as U Thong A style. As most of these Buddhas were found in the Suphanburi region of central Thailand, the latter name became more common in the literature. This type of Buddha figure was popular between the thirteenth to the fifteenth century.

Near Ayutthaya and Bangkok, Suphanburi is a historic principality in the Chao Phraya basin of Central Thailand. It is believed to have been founded circa 877-882 by a Mon ruler, but in line with the piecemeal conquest of Dvaravati territories by the Khmer, Suphanburi became one of the latter's major provincial centers in Thailand by the 11th or 12th century. Ever the prize, as the Khmer empire disintegrated, Suphanburi became at least nominally subject to Sukhothai's great expansionist, Ramkhamkhaeng (r. 1279 -1298). But his immediate successor, Lo Thai (r. 1298-1346/7), could not hold on to it and Wyatt surmises that the loss of Suphanburi alone within the early years of his reign was probably the single greatest factor leading to the demise of the Sukhothai kingdom and the emergence of the Ayutthaya state that would ultimately absorb it (Wyatt, Thailand: A Short History, New Haven, 2003, p. 48). Finally, Ayutthaya's founder, U Thong, born in 1314 (likely not much later than when this sculpture was made) formed a marriage alliance with a princess of Suphanburi and the principality provided claimants to Ayutthaya's throne, albeit rival ones, for several generations.
