Object Details

Catalogue Note

Dimensions: H 22 × W 11 × D 10 cm
Weight: 1.1 kg
Material: Copper-rich bronze with gilding and inlaid glass eyes
Origin: Thailand
Style: Rattanakosin
Dating: Attributed to the late 19th century

A finely cast Thai Kinnara, the celestial human-bird figure associated with grace, music and devotional imagery in Southeast Asian Buddhism. The sculpture is notable for its dynamic pose, warm reddish bronze and inset glass eyes.

Surviving gilding, dark patina and green oxidation occur across protected areas. These observations support an aged surface but are not treated as independent scientific proof of the proposed late-19th-century date.

Condition

Antique condition with worn gilding, patina, oxidation and age-related surface variation.

Iconography and Context

The object’s form, material and surviving surface are best understood together. Its complete image sequence records the silhouette, construction and decorative details from multiple viewpoints.

Condition and Display

Surviving gilding, darker recessed areas and wear on raised details create a layered surface. The 11 photographs document the remaining finish, patina, casting and base from multiple viewpoints.
