A BRONZE FIGURE OF BUDDHA, MON DVARAVATI STYLE

Thailand, 8th-9th century or later. Finely cast standing in samabhanga, his arms thrust forward with hands raised in vitarka mudra. He is dressed in a sheer dhoti and uttarasangha with hems pooling near the ankles. His face with a serene expression incised with heavy-lidded downcast eyes, arched brows, and full lips forming a calm smile, all flanked by long pendulous lobes, the hair arranged in large, protruding snail-shell curls, surmounted by a conical ushnisha.

Provenance: From the private collection of Jean Dumoulin, Overijse, Belgium, acquired in Bangkok during the mid-1990s. A copy of a provenance statement, written and signed by Jean Dumoulin, dated 30 September 2024, and confirming the above, accompanies this lot. Jean Dumoulin developed a great passion for Asian culture as a young man, and frequently traveled the Asian continent. His private collection of Asian works of art comprises sculptures and objects he acquired in Burma, Thailand, and on the European market.
Condition: Very good condition, commensurate with age. Old wear, casting irregularities, corrosion, and signs of weathering and erosion. The bronze with a naturally grown patina with extensive malachite encrustations.

With an associated modern stand. (2)

The Mon polity of Dvaravati was one of the earliest and most important societies in mainland Southeast Asia. Based around the Chao Phraya and Mae Klang river basins of central Thailand, Dvaravati was known from early Chinese textual sources, as well as being mentioned in a single local inscription that dates to roughly 550-650 AD. Due to the large numbers of Buddhist sculptures associated with the culture, it is most likely that the rulers were patrons of the Buddhist faith. The images of Buddha were influenced by contemporary Indian sculptural works, including the Gupta style based around the site of Sarnath. The facial features of the Mon Dvaravati Buddhist images, however, display arched, joined eyebrows which are unlike those found in India, and are therefore characteristic of Mon Dvaravati. Compared to earlier and later Thai kingdoms, Dvaravati was geographically and economically isolated, which contributed to the distinct qualities of its sculpture. Their style was bold, self-assured, recognizable, and highly influential on subsequent Thai sculpture and artistic production throughout Southeast Asia.

Within the context of the dominant Theravada school of Buddhism,
which emphasized the singularity of the Buddha Shakyamuni, bronze sculptures from this area also demonstrate a remarkably cohesive design. As unifying features, the Buddha is clad in the humble dress of a religious renunciant, with the thin garment clinging closely to the body to reveal his delicate proportions and graceful contours that lie beneath. His face is characterized by high cheekbones, full lips, prominent eyes, and – as stated – the curved brows that form the characteristic V-shape at the bridge of the nose.
