About the Item
A rare pair of Thai gilt bronze Buddhist Temple deer from the 1800s. The pair are a substantial form of resting deer with superb expressions and tall antlers. The faces have excellent detail, with etching mimicking fur around their necks. There is intricate detail to the hoofs, tails, and markings along their flanks. This pair makes a significant statement in any room or on matching consoles in a foyer or entrance. They measure 32 H X 31.5 L x 7.5D
"Antique Thai gilt cast bronze figure of a recumbent temple deer. These sika deer are closely associated with the Buddha because of his “Teaching in the Deer Park” in Sarnath. Buddha’s teaching, or “Spinning the Wheel of the Law,” further links the deer to this sacred event. Thus, deer are often depicted with the Wheel of the Law or Dharmachakra in a temple setting. With one leg bent under his body and one outstretched, the deer turns a long, graceful neck to look back over it’s shoulder."
