Catalogue Note
A small Thai bronze Buddha with Khmer stylistic influence, shown crowned and seated in deep meditation on a high bell-shaped base. The hands rest together in Dhyana Mudra, while a circular halo frames the elaborate headdress.
The bronze carries a rich brown and green aged patina, especially across the halo and pedestal. The open underside reveals the hollow interior of the bell-shaped casting.
Iconography and Context
Dhyana Mudra places both hands in the lap and expresses concentration, balance and meditative absorption. Its symmetry reinforces the sculpture’s calm, inward-looking presence.
