Catalogue Note
Dimensions: H 12 × W 8 cm
Material: Bronze
Origin: Thailand
Style: Ayutthaya / U-Thong inspired
A characterful Thai Buddha head with a flame-shaped finial, meditative expression and a deeply aged bronze surface. The interior preserves coarse traditional casting residues and the exterior shows dark patina with areas of green verdigris.
A historic opening or loss is visible at the right side. An exact date has not been securely established from the current information, so the listing describes the piece as old rather than assigning a specific century.
Condition
Old condition with patina, oxidation, surface wear and a historic opening/loss as shown.
Iconography and Context
Presented without the full body, a Buddha head concentrates attention on the meditative expression, elongated earlobes, hair treatment and ushnisha. Surface and silhouette become especially important to the sculpture’s impact.
Condition and Display
The bronze surface shows the tonal variation, patina and raised-detail wear described in the catalogue note. The 9 photographs document the sculpture from multiple angles, including the reverse and base.
Collector’s Note
A old thai buddha head – bronze, ayutthaya / u-thong style, 12 cm with compact, display-friendly scale, combining its thailand bronze character with clearly readable sculptural detail.
