Small Thai Seated Bronze Buddha Maravijaya, Ayutthaya, 16th Century
About the Item
A small Thai cast seated bronze figure of the historical Buddha Shakyamuni, Northern Thailand, Ayutthaya period, 16th century.
This sculpture captures the moment before the man known as Siddartha Guatama reaches enlightenment to become the Historical Buddha Shakyamuni. The Buddha sits upon a raised dais in virasana (half lotus position) gazing straight ahead, one hand in his lap, the other hand draped gracefully over his knee, reaching down, but not yet touching the earth. This pose is known as Maravijaya, the Victory Over Mara.
The bronze displays a simply stunning patina of mottled greens (malachite) and reds (cuprite), with a few slight areas of gilding remaining. The patina heavily encrusted, obscuring some details to the face.

Thai Lopburi Cast Bronze Seated Buddha, 13th Century
Located in Austin, TX
A fine early Thai Lopburi figure of a crowned and adorned Buddha, cast bronze, mid-13th century.
The unusual figure of the Buddha sits in virasana upon a stylized lotus pedestal. He is dressed in the traditional monastic robes, but also adorned with a crown and jewelry, including earrings, a necklace, and jeweled belt.
His hands in an atypical combination of mudras. His right hand in bhumisparsha mudra, reaching down to touch the earth, while his left hand held somewhat outwards, seemingly in varada mudra, the gesture of granting favours or wishes. The palm of his outstretched hand marked with the dharmachakra, the Wheel of the Law, representing Buddhist teaching.
The bronze with a beautiful silvery patina.
Lopburi was an independent Mon kingdom with strong ties to the Khmer Angkor...
