18th C. Thai Ayutthaya Brass Buddha Head
18th C. Thai Ayutthaya Brass Buddha Head
Item Details
Description
Southeast Asia, Thailand, Ayutthaya to Rattanakosin Period, ca. 18th to 19th century CE. This is a lovely cast brass fragmentary head portion of a Buddha sculpture, with a lovely and calm visage. His eyes are cast downwards under large lids and softly arched brows, and a slender nose and slightly smiling lips complete his tranquil expression. His ears are adorned with large earrings that elongate his earlobes, and his head is covered by the flaming ushnisha headdress crown with frontal flanges. Buddha's depicted in royal attire and jewelry tend to date from the later part of the Ayutthaya period and symbolize a story when the Buddha donned royal robes, crown, and necklace to convert a pagan king. Size: 2.5" W x 4.75" H (6.4 cm x 12.1 cm)

Provenance: Whisnant Gallery, New Orleans, Louisiana, USA acquired prior to 2000
