Sri Lankan Cast Bronze Seated Buddha, Kandyan Style, Early to Mid 19th Century

About the Item

A large and heavy well cast bronze image of the Buddha seated in meditation, late or just post Kandyan period (1597 - 1815), early to mid 19th century, Sri Lanka. The Buddha sits upon a multi-tiered trapezoidal base with a central band of downward facing lotus petals. He sits in meditation, legs in virasana, the half lotus position, hands resting gently in his lap in dhyana mudra, the gesture of mediation. He wears diaphanous robes wrapped around his robust body, clinging to his idealized form, part of his chest and one arm exposed. The robes deeply incised with a stunning pattern of lines imitating fine and crisp pleats, typical of later Kandyan sculpture. The Buddha's face is exquisite, with heavily lidded almond shaped eyes under high arched brows, a strong nose, and plump, expressive lips. His round face is framed by a pair of large ears with long, pendulous lobes, and topped by a head of closely cropped curls. A large and prominent siraspata, a stylized flame signifying enlightenment, rises from the subtle ushnisha.

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...
