注脚
泰國 ?素可泰王國時期 ?約1350-1400年 ?銅佛首? ? This sizable head portrays Buddha's serenity and "classic" Sukhothai elements. With heavy-lidded eyes gazing downwards in blissful contemplation, his arched brow gives rise to a beaked nose, beneath which a gentle smile plays out across his lips. His fleshy jowls are framed by pendulous earlobes, while his short curls are well-articulated in symmetrical arrangement over his dome and ushnisha. A flame surmounts his crown, a beacon of his enlightened consciousness. Compare two other "classic" Sukhothai examples in the Walters Museum of Art, attributed to the second half of the 14th century, and displaying similarly treated nasal bridges, recessed lips, and upswept eyes (Woodward, The Sacred Sculpture of Thailand, 1997, pp.154 & 156, figs.155 & 157).? ? Provenance? Private Collection, London, 1970s-2013
