Thai Ayutthaya Bronze Buddha Head, U-Thong C Style, 18th/19th Century, Thailand

About the Item

A sublime Ayutthaya Thai cast bronze head of the Buddha, U-Thong C style, 18th/19th century or earlier, Thailand. The Buddha's elegant face is a beautiful study in balance - neither plump nor slender, with both curved and square features. He looks out serenely from heavily lidded downcast eyes. The eyes deeply hollowed, indicating they were once inlaid. A pair of high arched brows meet at the bridge of his sharp, slightly hooked nose. The Buddha's mouth is well defined, with plump lips set in a slight smile over a prominent chin. An elegant pair of ears with elongated earlobes frame the face. The Buddha's hair, separated from the face by a narrow band around the hairline, is arranged in neat rows of small, tight curls, covering the pronounced ushnisha. A wonderful seven pointed flame finial tops the ushnisha. The bronze with an even dark patina, with areas of minor pitting and corrosion. Mounted on a modern custom black metal stand. Measure: height of head only: 9.75".
