Bronze Buddha Flame, 15 - 16th Century

About the Item

A bronze Buddha Flame or "Ushnisha", recovered from the ancient city of Sukhotai, Thailand. Circa 15-16th Century. The Ushnisha is the three-dimensional oval on top of Buddha's head. In ancient scriptures, it is the symbol of his Enlightenment. While this "crown" has adopted many shapes by different schools through the centuries, the flame was adopted by Sri-Lankan tradition and expanded throughout Southeast Asia, being frequently found in classic Thai Buddha depictions. This Buddha Ushnisha Flame, reclaimed from an ancient statue, is very well preserved and exhibits a beautiful patina conferred by time and the elements. It measures 4.25 inches high by 1.5 inches wide. It comes mounted on a black metal stand, for a total height of 8 inches on a 2" x 2" base.
