All auctions / Ethnographical / Standing Buddha - Brass - Thailand - Late 20th century
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 Such figures were originally made between the 12th and 14th centuries, but the style has remained very popular in Cambodia and Thailand for devotional objects and artworks to this day see the photos for a good impression, they form part of the description Sent by registered mail
