Catalogue Note
This Thai bronze Buddha is seated in Dhyana Mudra, with both hands resting in the lap in the gesture of meditation. The calm expression, elongated ushnisha and lotus pedestal follow the refined visual language of Rattanakosin Buddhist sculpture.
A natural green oxidation patina and visible age-related wear give the bronze depth and character. The hollow base retains its traditional earth or clay filling.
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.
Condition and Display
The solid bronze with natural green patina surface shows the tonal variation, patina and raised-detail wear described in the catalogue note. The 7 photographs document the sculpture from multiple angles, including the reverse and base.
