全部拍賣 / Ancient Art / Northern Thailand — Kingdom of Lanna Bronze / copper...
Important and particularly elegant bronze Buddha Śākyamuni, of the Lanna tradition from Northern Thailand, attributed to the 16th century, ca. 1500–1550. The Buddha is represented seated in the attitude of victory over Māra, the right hand descending toward the earth in bhūmisparśa mudrā, while the left hand rests tranquilly in the lap. This iconography commemorates the moment just before Enlightenment, when the Buddha calls the Earth to witness the accumulation of his merits. The sculpture belongs to the group of mixed Lanna types, deeply nourished by the artistic influence of Sukhothai. This tradition is particularly well documented during the golden age of the Lanna kingdom: reference publications of Thailand’s Fine Arts Department notably present a mixed-type Buddha cast in 1500, while Hiram W. Woodward’s studies establish several parallels dated to the first half and the middle of the sixteenth century. The oval and serene face is animated by half-closed eyes, arched brows and a finely modeled mouth. The long ears frame hair formed of small regular curls, surmounted by a high radiance flame. The body, slender and balanced, is wrapped in a very fine monastic robe leaving the right shoulder bare. The saṅghāṭi, clearly delineated, descends long over the chest and is one of the important elements linking it to the mixed Lanna types rather than the more compact Sihing group. The Buddha rests on a remarkable lotus-form base edged with a beaded register, itself set on a broad polygonal plinth with cut corners. This base architecture fully contributes to the monumentality of the whole. The piece has been executed using the traditional lost-wax hollow casting technique. The open underside preserves a significant part of the casting core. The examination of photographs and the video reveals no obvious breach between the Buddha, the lotus and the plinth, giving the whole remarkable technical and visual coherence. The surface presents a deep chocolate-brown patina, nuanced with small green oxidation patches and natural wear that emphasize the modeling without compromising legibility. With a height of 53.5 cm, a weight of 15 kg, the balanced quality of its modeling and the preservation of its flame and complete plinth, this specimen constitutes a particularly imposing and decorative representation of Buddhist sculpture from the Lanna kingdom. Dimensions: 53.5 × 33 × 22 cm — weight: 15 kg. video link: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fo/d7k8axhbosnc3heorb02a/AGYZssab6VXE55oRBc9RIic?rlkey=7wqesylv0pxo695da3s8ss6q1&dl=0
