Thai Cast Silver Alloy Standing Buddha, Mid 20th Century, Thailand
About the Item
An impressive and gracious Thai cast silver alloy standing Buddha, mid 20th century, Thailand.
The Buddha stands upright upon a small square plinth. He is dressed in layered robes, including a dhoti covering his legs, and a sanghati wrapped around his torso, covering both shoulders and arms, and flaring elegantly behind him. The dhoti features wonderful geometric designs to the central hem.
The Buddha performs abhaya mudra, the gesture of reassurance and dispelling fear. He holds one arm out, bent at the elbow, palm facing outwards. His other arm held loosely at his side, also with the palm facing outwards. Both hands feature a floral mark to the center of the palm.
His broad face is set with soft features, including heavily lidded downcast eyes, a flat nose, and wide mouth with plump limps set in a soft smile. Narrow ears with long earlobes frame his face. His hair arranged in neat rows of tight curls, covering the pronounced ushnisha to the top of his head.
The heavy Buddha cast from a low grade (?) silver alloy. The silver with some pitting and heavy tarnish to the recessed areas.

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...
