A BRONZE FIGURE OF BUDDHA SHAKYAMUNI THAILAND, 14TH-15TH CENTURY 17 ? in. (45.1 cm.) high
The classic posturing of the present lot is iconic amongst Buddhist imagery. Here, Buddha is seated in vajraparyankasana with the proper right hand touching in the earth in bhumisparsha mudra, at the moment of his enlightenment.
The flaming finial atop the ushnisha, the snailshell curls, the diaphanous robes, and the tiered lotus throne with raised pearl edges all compare favorably with another fifteenth-sixteenth century bronze figure of seated Buddha from Thailand, in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York (acc. no. 1981.463), illustrated in "The Arts of South and Southeast Asia": The Metropolitan Museum of Art Bulletin, v. 51, no. 4 (Spring, 1994).
