19th Century Antique Bronze Sukhothai Thoughtful Gautama Buddha Statue -61cm/24" Measurements – H61cm/24" Ca. 19th century Sukhothai standing Thoughtful Buddha from Thailand. The peaceful countenance of Lord Buddha exudes harmony. The Buddha is stood on a lotus flower bronze pedestal and is the Buddhist symbol for those born on a Friday. Representing an Open-Eye posture, the Buddha stands with hands crossed over his abdomen, in pensive thought. The right hand is placed over the left on the upper thigh. Here, the enlightened Buddha contemplates his achievements and knowledge, standing still for 7 days under the Bodhi Tree to contemplate the suffering of all living things. The large ushnisha protuberance on top of his head, symbolizes his high level of spiritual development. The Buddha has a peaceful countenance with downcast introspective eyes and a firm brow. His earlobes are stretched long from a youth spent as a prince wearing heavy gold earrings. Provenance: Ex- private London Collection, acquired before 1990.
