A brass replica of a standing Khmer-style Buddha with a royal crown, from Thailand, dating to the late 20th century, measuring 29 cm high, 8.5 cm wide and 5 cm deep, and weighing 1229 g.
Description from the seller
A bronze standing crowned Buddha statue in Khmer style.
This particular type of art style is strongly influenced by the art of the historic Khmer Empire (present-day Cambodia and parts of Thailand)
weight 1229 grams
Height 29 cm
Width 8.5 cm
Depth 5 cm
Double Abhaya Mudra: Both hands are raised with the palms facing forward. This is the gesture of protection, reassurance, and dispelling fear. In the Southeast Asian tradition (as in Thailand), this specific posture with two raised hands is also known as the "calming the ocean".
Royal attire and crown: Unlike the simple monk’s robe in which the Buddha is often depicted, he here wears a richly adorned royal crown (diadem), earrings, a broad necklace, and a detailed belt. This symbolizes the Buddha as a universal spiritual king (Chakravartin).
The mantle: On either side hangs the traditional wrap (sanghati) in tight, symmetrical folds along the body downwards, characteristic of the Angkor Wat or Lopburi styles.
Such statues were originally produced between the 12th and 14th centuries, but the style has remained very popular in Cambodia and Thailand for devotional items and works of art to this day.
