Bronze Buddha in fearless position
Former Kingdom of Siam
19th century
The Buddha is depicted standing in samapada position, left arm at his side, right arm bent, palm facing outwards in a position of fearlessness (abhaya mudra). He is dressed in the uttarasanga monastic robe, which covers him entirely up to the calves, the garment being encircled by a cloth, one side of which falls in a straight line from the navel.
The Awakened One is shown adorned like a universal ruler (cakravartin), his arms adorned with bracelets, his torso adorned with a large floral ornament and an elaborate tiara echoing the ornamentation on the breastplate. A tri-lobed element at the top of the skull and fins on either side of it are typical of Ayuthaya statuary.
The gentle face is characterized by fine, curvilinear eyebrows meeting at the base of an aquiline nose with dilated nostrils, and heavy, almost closed eyelids resting on almond-shaped eyes. Stylized pointed ears hold heavy ear pendants, the mouth slightly smiling above a small prognathic chin, the neck adorned with three beauty folds.
