Product description
Physical Dimensions & Condition Height: 47.5 cm | Width: 31.0 cm | Weight: 12.6 kg This monumental Thai bronze Buddha (47.5 cm) is an impressive example of the classic Sukhothai style, crafted during the 19th-century Rattanakosin period. Thanks to its exceptionally thick bronze cast walls, the statue boasts an impressive weight of 12.6 kg, directly attesting to the high quality of the casting. The graceful bodily proportions, refined facial features, and warm historically developed patina make this an exceptional collector's item and a powerful spiritual centerpiece within an exclusive interior or meditation environment. The Philosophical & Spiritual Significance: Why this Statue is Essential This Shakyamuni Buddha embodies the essence of enlightenment, inner strength, and spiritual triumph according to ancient Thai Buddhist tradition. Bhumisparsha Mudra: With his right hand, the Buddha touches the earth as a witness to his enlightenment. This iconic hand gesture symbolizes steadfastness, truth, and the triumph over all inner trials. Sukhothai Elegance: The elongated body forms, refined facial features, and flowing lines are among the most beloved characteristics of classic Sukhothai art, in which spiritual perfection takes center stage. Flaming Ketumala: The elegant flame-shaped finial above the ushnisha symbolizes transcendent wisdom and the spiritual energy of complete enlightenment. Lotus Throne: The double row of lotus leaves (Padmasana) refers to purity, spiritual growth, and the ability to rise above worldly concerns. Material & Craftsmanship Analysis Solid Thick-Walled Bronze: The statue is cast using the traditional lost-wax method (cire perdue) and is distinguished by exceptionally thick bronze walls, resulting in an impressive weight of 12.6 kg. Authentic Casting Core: The hollow underside still preserves remnants of the original clay, sand, and ash core used during the historical casting process. Natural Patina: The deep olive-green and charcoal-brown bronze skin developed entirely naturally. The soft sheen on the knees and chest reflects years of devotional use and ritual touching. Historical Provenance: On the underside, there are old felt protective pads that were once applied by a previous European collector, a subtle part of the object's later collection history.
