Description

Gilded bronze statue of the historical crowned Buddha from the Rattanakosin period, inspired by the Ayutthaya style, 19th century.
Representations of crowned Buddhas in Thailand have been documented since the Ayutthaya period, which began in the 14th century. This style was then revived and enriched during the Rattanakosin period, from the late 18th century onwards.
This type of double-gesture Buddha is unknown in the Buddhist diaspora, and seems to have originated in the art of the Môn-Dvaravati regions as early as the end of the first millennium. This unique Môn representation was later adopted by the Thai and became the preferred form for depicting the Buddha.
The finesse of the casting highlights delicate details and nuanced gilding, with oxidations of the bronze adding depth and authenticity. The hands in abhaya mudra symbolize the absence of fear and protection characteristic of Thai Buddhist art.
A comparison can be seen at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York.
