Lot 2195 | Seltener und bedeutender Buddha in Meditation
Thailand. Dvaravati-Stil. 8. Jahrhundert

Bronze mit glänzender, dunkelsilberner Patina. Sitzend in padmasana auf einem Lotossockel, die Hände in dhyana mudra. Das Gewand umschließt den gesamten Körper und wird am Hals wie auch an den Händen deutlich. Es scheint jedoch aus einem Material, das sich fließend den Formen anschmiegt, so dass der geschlechtslose Körper durchscheint. Im Antlitz fallen die typischen, etwas hervorquellenden Augen auf und die eleganten, von der Nasenwurzel ausgehenden Augenbrauen, 'geformt wie eine fliegende Schwalbe'.

Die Kultur der Mon vom 6. bis 11. Jahrhunder im Becken des heutigen Chao-Phraya-Flusses in Zentral-Thailand wird mit der Bezeichnung Dvaravati umfasst. In den Kunstwerken wird eine starke Prägung durch Indien deutlich. Das Dvaravati-Reich spielte eine wichtige Rolle bei der Einführung der buddhistischen Kultur in der Region. Dabei sind Figuren aus Bronze eher selten. Höhe 11,4cm. Auf einem Sockel. Zustand A/B.
