AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Bronze Sitting Buddha Amarapura style late 18th early 19th century.
Original patina and perfect condition. 5.400 kg
Sitting on a stepped triangle shaped throne equipped with two fittings in front and one on the back.
The two in front was to hold Buddha's two most important disciples, Sariputta and Mogalanna the fitting on the back was for holding a stele.
The gentle features are more relaxed and realistic in contrast with other Burmese sculpture who is sometimes more stylized. The undulating movement of the robe on the throne and body, combined with the soft flowing touches of the arms and hands creates a floating impression of the Buddha. The oval face with youthful pious facial expression bears witness to an inner spiritual strenght and showing several iconographic marks of a Buddha. Amarapura style Buddha's are rather rare because of the relative short exinstence of this city plagued by fire and natural disasters. The style predeces the Mandalay period.
Amarapura (city of immortals) was founded by King Bodawapaya in 1783 as his new capital, it supplanted Ava. A fire in 1810 and the return of the court back to Ava in 1823 caused a decline. King Tharrawaddy restored Amarapura as the capital, but the earthquake of 1839 destroyed much of the city, which then was finnaly abandoned for Mandalay by King Mindon.
