antique, rare, Thai, walking bronze Buddha. 7th cent.
An outstanding, antique, rare, Thai, walking bronze Buddha.
17th cent. Ayuthia period.
Such items are incredible rare this days.
The Buddhas' face and body are of a young man, correlating to very early models of the Buddha. In his face we can see the typical serene expression of the Gupta period , of the 6-8th cent., above his ushinsha, unlike the Gupta period, there is a flame. His right hand side longer than ordinary size hand, reaching to his knee and typical to his period. His left hand is in the preaching mudra, and he is wearing the typical attire to his period: a long robe, attached to his left hand, keeping his right shoulder bare.
There is a crack to the right leg and the left leg has an old repair. there is a partial loss at the back of the base, another crack to the left side. A very rich, deep, brown patina with green inclusions.
size 38x10x cm
