Thai 1900s Gilt and Polychrome Hand Carved Sculpture of Seated Buddhist Monk

About the Item

A Thai religious hand carved wooden statue of a seated Buddhist monk with polychrome and gilded accents from the early 20th century. This early 20th-century Thai statue, masterfully hand-carved, captures the tranquil essence of a seated Buddhist monk in a moment of profound prayer and meditation. Originating from Thailand, the statue showcases the skilled artisanship of the era, depicted through the monk's serene expression and shaven head, all reflecting deep inner peace and spiritual wisdom. The monk's attire is rendered with delicate precision, adorned with polychrome glass accents that beautifully contrast against the gilded wood. These embellishments add a touch of elegance and reverence, highlighting the statue's religious significance. The aged patina that graces the sculpture speaks of its history and the hands through which it has passed, adding depth and character to the piece. This serene sculpture can be a focal point in a tranquil meditation room, inviting a sense of calm and contemplation. Alternatively, it could be placed in a living room or study, serving as a reminder of tranquility and mindfulness amidst the bustle of daily life. Its spiritual resonance makes it a thoughtful addition to any space seeking a touch of serenity. For those who appreciate cultural artifacts or seek to infuse their homes with meaningful decor, this early 20th-century Thai statue of a seated monk is more than a decorative object; it is a vessel of tranquility and a testament to the enduring beauty of Thai religious art.

Bronze Lost Wax Sculpture Depicting a Praying Buddhist Monk with Offering Bowl

Located in Yonkers, NY

A small vintage bronze cast sculpture from the mid 20th century depicting a praying Buddhist monk sitting on a base and holding an offering bowl. Created with the traditional technique of the lost-wax (à la cire perdue) which allows for great precision and finesse in the details, this vintage bronze statue depicts a praying Buddhist monk sitting on a base, preciously holding an offering bowl. Having placed the bowl on his left hand, the monk is protecting the content with his right one. He is peacefully looking upwards, in a prayerful attitude. He is dressed with a thin robe uncovering his right shoulder, the fabric falling delicately on his left side. He is sitting on a base in a single lotus position. The bowl comes off as shown on image 9. The back is decorated as well, with less details than the front. With its nice depiction and dark patina, this vintage bronze praying Buddhist monk statue...

Japanese Wood Carved Polychrome Sculpture of a Seated Temple Monk, Edo Period

Located in Studio City, CA

This is truly a wonderful piece with clear age and a nice patina to it. Very unique. We have not seen another quite like it. The monk appears to have glass eyes which gives his expression a very humanistic feel. The head is removable (please see the last image). From a collection of Japanese arts and artifacts. Most likely dates back to the Edo period. Would make for a nice addition to any Japanese or Asian artifacts...
