Lopburi Style Cast Bronze Figure of Uma, 13th-14th Century, Thailand
$5,200
About
A charming and unusual cast bronze figure of the Hindu goddess Uma, Lopburi Style, 13th-14th century, Thailand.
Uma, the Hindu goddess of love and beauty, also known as Parvati, is the consort of Shiva. She is portrayed here with somewhat elongated proportions, standing upright upon a short square plinth. Her torso and legs stretched, her arms impossibly skinny.
Uma's face is quite fetching, with exaggerated almond shaped eyes, bold features, and a wide, welcoming smile. Her hair done up in a low chignon and secured by a three pointed diadem.
Uma is dressed in a long, pleated sampot with a distinctive "fishtail" pleat to the front. A heavy jeweled belt with hanging pendants secures the sampot high on her narrowhips.
Her torso is bare save for the large necklace around her neck, a pendant hanging between her small breasts.
Uma holds an attribute in each of her outstretched hands.
This piece would originally have been part of a larger Hindu triad.
The bronze with a stunning overall silvery green patina. The back with areas of darker malachite blue.
A collection number written on one side of the figure.
Lopburi was a fascinating kingdom located in modern day central Thailand. Although independent, they were heavily influenced by the Khmer Angkor Empire, as is apparent in their art and architecture. However, later Lopburi artworks display a combination of both Khmer and early Thai characteristics, paving the way for a unique Thai Ayutthaya style in the late 14th century.
