Antique Thai Buddha statue in bronze – Ayutthaya style, 18th–19th century lot 173

Estimated value: €2,800 – €4,200.

This antique Thai Buddha statue is executed in the classic Ayutthaya style and depicts the Buddha in meditation with the earth-touching hand posture, a symbol of enlightenment and inner stability. The elegant posture, the slender proportions, and the characteristic flame-shaped ushnisha above the head align with traditional Siamese temple art.

The statue is cast in bronze using the lost-wax technique and displays a natural aged patina with subtle wear consistent with long-term age and use. The closed lotus base and the harmonious design give the whole a calm, timeless appearance that is strongly present both spiritually and decoratively.

This type of authentic Thai bronze with clear Ayutthaya influences is becoming increasingly difficult to find in good proportions and with a convincingly aged surface. A powerful piece for lovers of Asian art and for collectors looking for a classic Buddhist statue with character. Dimensions: H 39.4 cm × W 26.5 cm — Weight: 6.4 kg.
