13thC. Fantastic, Southern Thai Buddha with a strong Khmer.
About the Item
Best of its type- 13thC. Fantastic, Southern Thai Buddha with a strong Khmer/Uthong influence. I've seen a number of closely related examples over the years, but they were all much smaller, and not nearly as well cast or sculpted. All of them have had elaborate "belts" or "sashes" around their waists that have had a lotus in the middle that was closely related to this one. None were as remotely intricate as this one. None had the precision to their detail work. Each of them did have closely related Lotus flowers on the palms of their hands. They all also had faces that were closely related to 13thC Khmer and earliest Uthong, but they are more friendly and more Beautiful. This type is far rarer than its Khmer counterpart based on what I have seen in books, the marketplace, auction houses, and museums over the past 30 years. This is the nicest example I've seen anywhere. When I saw it I nearly passed it by because I could not believe that it was authentic given its size and beauty. The base has echoes of Sri Lankan and Indian Sculpture of the time, which is not surprising given peninsular Thailand is right across the Bay of Bengal from part of those places which practiced Buddhism during that period.
This piece will become the backdrop for the next iteration of my website as this looks to me to be a masterpiece. spend time studying the photos and you will see what I mean. Condition outstanding for 800 years of age. Buddha sits on a new custom museum quality base.

Shiva ( Siva, lit. the auspicious one) also known as Mahadeva ( lit. the greatest god) is one of the principal deities of Hinduism. He is the Supreme Being within Shaivism, one of the major traditions within contemporary Hinduism. Shiva is known as "The Destroyer" within the Trimurti, the Hindu trinity that includes Brahma and Vishnu. In Shaivism tradition, Shiva is the Supreme being who creates, protects and transforms the universe. In the tradition of Hinduism called Shaktism, the Goddess, or Devi, is described as supreme, yet Shiva is revered along with Vishnu and Brahma. A goddess is stated to be the energy and creative power (Shakti) of each, with Parvati (Sati) the equal complementary partner of Shiva. He is one of the five equivalent deities in Panchayatana puja of the Smarta tradition of Hinduism. According to the Shaivism sect, the highest form of Shiva is formless, limitless, transcendent and unchanging absolute Brahman,[16] and the primal Atman (soul, self) of the universe. There are many both benevolent and fearsome depictions of Shiva. In benevolent aspects, he is depicted as an omniscient Yogi who lives an ascetic life on Mount Kailash[1] as well as a householder with wife Parvati and his two children, Ganesha and Kartikeya. In his fierce aspects, he is often depicted slaying demons. Shiva is also known as Adiyogi Shiva, regarded as the patron god of yoga, meditation and arts. The iconographical attributes of Shiva are the serpent around his neck, the adorning crescent moon, the holy river Ganga flowing from his matted hair, the third eye on his forehead, the trishula or trident, as his weapon, and the damaru drum...Category
