Antique Thai Bronze Seated Buddha in Sukhothai style, 19th century

About the Item

Antique Thai Bronze Seated Buddha in Sukhothai style, 19th century. The bronze figure of Maravijaya Buddha, gracefully seated with legs folded in the hero pose exposing the sole of his right foot resting in the crook of his left leg in paryankasana position on a simple shaped base. The right hand in bhumisparsa mudra near the knee over the top of the right shin known as the earth touching position or subduing Mara. The left hand in dhyana mudra, resting in the center of his lap and at the heel of his right foot. He wears a diaphanous layered sanghati outlined  across his torso leaving his right arm uncovered, the garment smoothly draped over his squared and rounded shoulder, and with the robe edge folded over with reversing inflection, resembling a shawl over the left shoulder terminating in elegantly pleated folds also interpreted as “fishtail notch” ends to the edge of the garment that extends from just aside his navel to the base of his spine. The face in a calm meditative expression with downcast incised eyes beneath high arched brows and fine long aquiline nose, the lips incised in an enigmatic smile. The Ears elongated to the first fold of the neck and the top corners slightly peaked. The hair rendered with a V hairline echoing the arch of the brow with snail shell curls in rows and the ushnisha topped by a flame finial symbolic of the Buddha’s radiant energy, the patina of gold leafed lacquer with shoulders and knees rubbed to the bronze, overall fine condition. 22.75 in. high x 16.5 in. wide x 8 in. deep.
