Antique Sculpture wooden Buddha Mun from Thailand 19th century
About the Item
In a corner of a serene temple, bathed in the soft golden light of dawn, stands a Buddha like no other. This exquisite embodiment of spiritual devotion comes from the heart of Thailand and southern Burma, testimony to centuries of unwavering faith and artistry. This is no ordinary Buddha: it is a Mon image, a timeless work of art that whispers stories of centuries past.
With wooden stand.
Cradled gently by the hands of time, this particular masterpiece emerged during the 17th century and its aura has evolved and matured over the years. The specimen in this photo of Denison, a treasure in its own right, bears the elegant imprints of the 19th century. Carved from the humble lap of wood, it exudes a sacred presence that transcends the boundaries of time and space.
Observing this Mon Buddha, you will notice a distinctive geometry to its form, a divine design that defies ordinary human proportions. The head, a symbol of wisdom and enlightenment, seems almost oversized, giving the figure an otherworldly air. The Buddha's legs, strong and solid, are a testament to spiritual strength, while the arms remain slender, gracefully poised in the timeless gesture of touching the earth.
The countenance of this Buddha is an intriguing canvas of simplicity and depth. The facial features, with their flattened appearance, reveal an artist's touch that captures the essence of inner peace and tranquility. This Buddha wears a five-tiered crown, each layer an ode to spiritual ascension, while ear plugs, necklaces, chest ornaments, epaulets, and bracelets adorn its form. Every detail a symbol, every embellishment a story, these sacred accessories speak of devotion and veneration.
Take a moment to look at the knees, and you'll find a delicate floral motif, reminiscent of the lotus flower. A symbol of purity and enlightenment, the lotus adds yet another layer of spiritual significance to this remarkable Mon Buddha. It is a visual reminder that even in the muddiest of waters, the lotus rises untainted, embracing the light.
In the presence of this Buddha, time itself seems to stand still. Its aura, a blend of serenity and reverence, draws you closer, inviting you to partake in the wisdom it holds. The Denison specimen is not just a piece of art; it is a glimpse into the soul of a people, a testament to their unwavering faith, and a symbol of the enduring beauty of devotion. It stands as a bridge between past and present, reminding us that the pursuit of inner peace and enlightenment is a timeless journey.
