A COPPER ALLOY FIGURE OF BUDDHA
NORTHERN THAILAND, AYUTTHAYA PERIOD, 16TH CENTURY31 5/8 in. (80.4 cm) high
注脚
泰國北部 大城時期 十六世紀 佛陀銅像Blissful and still, this standing Buddha has his right hand raised in the gesture of reassuring his followers. Pointing skyward, his elegant fingers characterize the graceful simplicity of his form. While this bronze exhibits typical iconographic and stylistic features of sculpture produced under the Ayutthaya period, its distinctive facial features—comprised of a?pointed jaw, wide lips, upswept eyes,?high-arched brows, and broad forehead—are qualities which are diagnostic of the artistic traditions of Chiang Mai, Chiang Rai, and regions near the Thai-Lao border. A good stylistic comparison for dating this bronze is a seated Buddha from Northern Thailand with comparable facial features kept in the British Museum and dated by inscription to 1540/1 (Zwalf (ed.), Buddhism: Art and Faith, New York, 1985, p.181, no.253).ProvenanceArt Passages, San Francisco, 3 February 2008Private West Coast Collection
