About the Item
These marvelously fluid and artistic figures were cast from bronze in the style of Northern Thailand and Burma. According to Buddhist tradition, the Buddha had two first Chief Disciples, Sāriputta and Moggallāna. They were wealthy young men seeking after higher knowledge and enlightenment and always depicted in elegant robes and often with unshaven heads. Depictions of these greatly -revered apostles are often found along side Buddha statues and holy angels on temple altars. In South East Asia, most of these sculptures are wooden. These exceptionally fluid and life-like sculptures are cast in bronze.
The apostles are depicted in a worshipful pose. The first, face upturned, gently extends his arms with palms down and delicately outstretched fingers. The second, kneeling forward, is bent down with hands clasped together. Their highly detailed gilt robes, adorned with mirrored glass, ripple and fold to the contours of their bodies. Their facial expression is one of holy bliss.
