About the Item

A Life-Size 19th Century Gilt Bronze Thai Buddha with Mother of Pearl Eyes. This life-size Thai gilt bronze Buddha stands serenely in the Abhaya Mudra, a gesture symbolizing fearlessness and protection. The figure reflects the influence of the Ayutthaya style, characterized by its elongated proportions and elegant drapery. The Buddha’s finely detailed robe is adorned with intricate floral motifs, and the surface retains much of its original gilding. The eyes, inlaid with mother-of-pearl, lend the figure a lifelike quality, emphasizing a tranquil and compassionate expression. The rounded ushnisha and tightly coiled curls of the hair further reference traditional iconography from the Ayutthaya period, a time known for its refined and spiritual Buddhist sculptures. Thailand, Circa: 1850

Behold this majestic depiction of Guanyin, rendered in porcelain with remarkable skill and artistry. Standing almost waist-height, this monumental statue exudes a sense of tranquility and spiritual presence that captivates the beholder. The figure of Guanyin is beautifully stylized, featuring a high bun adorned with a draped head covering that adds an air of elegance to the composition.

Delicate blossoms, meticulously painted by skilled hands, artfully scatter across the fabric in a pleasing pattern, adding an enchanting touch of artistry to the ensemble. The masterful craftsmanship is evident in the realistic draping of the clothing, creating a breathtaking illusion of soft fabric that seems to defy the porcelain medium, the only reminder being its alluring shine. The Guanyin figure exudes a sense of serenity with a pleasant and peaceful smile, complemented by gently lowered eyelids and gracefully elongated ear lobes. As you gaze upon the statue, you'll notice a delicate attention to detail, allowing the toes to peek out from under the floor-length blue trimmed gown, that further enhances the intrigue of the figure.
