AI-assisted summary

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.

Seller's Story

Passion for Art, Antiques, and Collectibles. Always enthusiastically searching for interesting and beautiful Collectibles in Antiques, Art, Curiosities, Design & Vintage at markets, auctions, and estate sales. I am fascinated by the story and history behind the various objects and their makers. The aim is to give these beautiful objects a new place among enthusiasts for their collection or to enhance their interior. Started this dream as a sole proprietorship in 2018. And of course, there is the love for the French Bulldog: Pip and especially successor Chouffe. That's why they are included again in my logo.
