A MONUMENTAL GILT-BRONZE FIGURE OF BUDDHA

THAILAND, U-THONG STYLE, 14TH-15TH CENTURY

Powerfully cast with the Buddha seated in dhyanasana over a low cushioned base, with his hands in bhumisparshamudra, the gesture of calling on the earth to bear witness to his enlightenment, clad in a diaphanous sanghati draped over the left shoulder, the face with a downcast, benevolent expression with wide mouth and nose and heavily-lidded eyes under a sinuous brow, the hair in tight curls over the ushnisha, which is topped with a flaming jewel

Height: 52 ¼ in. (132.7 cm.)





Provenance

Frank Russek, Zurich.

Acquired from the above on 14 July 1994, and thence by descent to the present owners.
