Object Details
Catalogue Note
Height: 55.5 cm
Weight: 15.5 kg
Material: Bronze
Origin: Thailand
Style: Rattanakosin
Period: Late 20th century
A large and unusually heavy Thai Buddha with the elegant flame finial and refined modelling associated with Rattanakosin revival sculpture. The dark bronze patina gives the figure a restrained and architectural presence.
This is transparently presented as a late-20th-century temple-style sculpture rather than an antique object.
Condition
Good condition with patina and normal surface variation from casting and handling.
Iconography and Context
The composed posture and restrained expression belong to the visual language of Buddhist devotional sculpture. Balance, stillness and clearly readable gestures allow the image to function both as a sacred object and as a focused sculptural presence.
Condition and Display
The bronze surface shows the tonal variation, patina and raised-detail wear described in the catalogue note. The 10 photographs document the sculpture from multiple angles, including the reverse and base.
