AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Fascinating and ancient bronze statue depicting the Crowned Buddha in regal ceremonial robes, Thailand.
The Buddha is depicted seated on a stepped throne in the sacred Bhumisparsha Mudra (gesture of touching the earth as a witness to enlightenment). The sculpture stands out for its rich ornamental details, visible in both the frontal vestments and the fine floral motifs impressed on the back of the robe.
The work was cast in bronze, originally covered with decorative red lacquer (visible on the base and on the back) and completely finished in gold leaf. The surface shows a splendid patina authentic to the time, with the gilding worn from devotional use that enhances its historical character. On the back of the base there is a small mounting ring and an old collectible paper label.
