Description from the seller

bronze statue of a standing crowned Buddha image in Khmer style.
This specific type of art style is strongly influenced by the art of the historical Khmer Empire (present-day Cambodia and parts of Thailand)

gewicht 1229gram
H 29 cm
B 8,5 cmd
D 5 cm

Double Abhaya Mudra: Both hands are raised with the palms facing forward. This is the gesture of protection, reassurance and driving away fear. In the Southeast Asian tradition (as in Thailand), this specific posture with two raised hands is also known as the "calming of the ocean".

Royal dress 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 both sides hangs the traditional shawl (sanghati) in tight, symmetrical folds along the body downward, characteristic of the Angkor Wat- or Lopburi-styles.

Such figures were originally made between the 12th and 14th centuries, but the style has remained very popular in Cambodia and Thailand for devotional objects and artworks to this day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.
