Early 20C Thai Seated Boy Emperor Rama VIII Polychrome Statue
About the Item
PRESENTING A GORGEOUS Early 20C Thai Seated Boy Emperor Rama VIII Polychrome Statue.
Made in Thailand in the early 20th Century, circa 1935 – 40.
Hand carved wooden statue which has been hand-painted (polychromed) all over. The headdress is gilded, as are parts of the costume and it has inset jeweled pieces of different colored glass all over the costume and headdress.
The boy sits on a wooden plinth.
The Boy or adolescent Emperor is in a seated position with one leg raised and one crossed. His headdress is highly ornate and the quality of his costume signifies his significance or status. We believe that this may be a depiction of the Boy Emperor – Ananda Mahidol known as Rama VIII, who became Emperor at the age of 9 in 1935.
Acquired by a New York Private Collector in the mid 20th Century on a visit to Thailand.
